Importing Documents
Bring existing files and web pages into Your Content — converted into native, editable Opisense documents.
You don't have to start from a blank page. Import existing files or web pages and Opisense converts each one into a native rich-text document you can edit, search, and share like anything else you create.
Two ways to import
Open the New document menu (the chevron next to the New document button) and you'll find two import actions:
- Import documents — upload one or more files from your computer
- Import from website… — pull a public web page (or a few pages from the same site) into a document
Both open the same dialog, which has a Files tab and a Website tab so you can switch between them.
Importing files
Choose Import documents, then drag files onto the dialog or browse to pick them. You can drop several at once.
Supported formats:
| Category | Extensions |
|---|---|
| Documents | .docx, .odt, .rtf, .pdf |
| Presentations | .pptx, .odp |
| Spreadsheets | .xlsx, .ods, .csv |
| Text & markup | .md, .markdown, .txt, .html |
Each file converts into its own document. The dialog shows a live status row per file — processing, ready, or failed — so you can watch a batch come in. If one file fails, the others still import, and you can retry the failed row without re-uploading the whole batch.
Imported documents are full native Opisense documents, not read-only attachments. Headings, lists, tables, and images carry over so you can keep editing where the original left off.
Importing from a website
Choose Import from website… (or the Website tab), paste a public URL, and pick a scope:
- This page only — scrapes just the URL you pasted into a single document
- Multiple pages — follows the same site and brings in up to 10 pages, combined into one document with a
##section per page
Click Import from website to start. The same live status row appears while the page is fetched and converted.
Only public http(s) pages can be imported. Local addresses and private network URLs (for example http://localhost or internal IPs) are rejected before the import starts.
Where imports land
Run the import from the spot you want the document to live:
- From Your Content, the document lands in your personal library (in the current folder, if you opened the menu inside one).
- From inside a Space you can edit, the document is created in that Space.
After importing
Imported documents behave like any other Opisense document, with one extra touch — a chip in the document header shows where it came from:
- File imports show Imported from
<filename>and let you download the original file you uploaded. - Website imports show the source hostname and open the original page in a new tab.
Imported documents also become searchable by your assistant and across Knowledge Base once the next sync cycle runs.
