TL;DR

  • Export Notion workspaces with permissions CSVs.
  • Map databases to Chaos collections and research repositories.
  • Train teams on Chaos search, automations, and decision logs.

What to export from Notion?

Export Markdown for pages, CSV for databases, and download permissions as a reference. Notion’s guide confirms these formats give the cleanest migrations.[1]

How to map Notion content into Chaos?

Align databases with Chaos collections. Convert meeting notes to the meeting workflow, research to repositories, and projects to creative ops boards.

How to retrain stakeholders?

Schedule office hours, share the onboarding playbook, and run refresher quests. Encourage teams to log new decisions in Chaos to reinforce adoption.

Key takeaways

  • Back up data and permissions before moving.
  • Map databases to Chaos structures for consistency.
  • Invest in retraining so Chaos becomes the source of truth.

Next steps

  1. Audit current Notion databases and owners.
  2. Export and transform data, then import to Chaos.
  3. Run onboarding and decommission Notion over two sprints.
