How to import a file into Tettra
Tettra currently supports importing Word Docs, Markdown, and HTML files (.docx, .md, .html).
Note: there is a 1 MB document limit for importing a document as a page. For larger files, you can embed those into an existing Tettra page.
Uploaded document contents are not searchable. Instead of uploading, consider copying and pasting the contents of the file into a Tettra page. You can copy formatted text, headers, images, etc. from Google Docs and paste it right into a new Tettra page. Tettra will automatically carry over most of the formatting.
Step 1. Click + on the upper left corner of the screen to toggle the dropdown menu. Select Import a document as a page.
Step 2. In the popup modal, drag-and-drop or select a file from your device.
This will automatically open a new draft that contains your newly imported content. Most of the formatting in the document (e.g., bold/italic text, images, headers) will carry over into Tettra's formatting.
Troubleshooting file imports
If you're having trouble importing a file into Tettra, try these tips below:
- Remove any animated GIFs.
- Break the file up into smaller files.
- Double check the file type to make sure it's supported (.docx, .md, .html).
- Be sure that if you rename the file, keep its filename suffix (for example, the .md at the end of "Daily Checkin .md").
- If you continue to have problems, please send a report to [email protected] with the file you're trying to import and we'll look into it further.
