Like most people, you probably have data, projects, documents, and notes scattered across multiple files and applications. You can centralize your information in one place by importing it all into xTiles.
How to import
xTiles allows you to directly import the following file type into your project:
- Markdown
To do this, log in to your existing project or create a new one, and click on Import in the three-dot menu in the project header.
Next, in the automatically opened file explorer, find and select the markdown file, and click OK.
The selected file will be imported onto a single page.
You can then organize the imported information as you see fit.
Note: Importing can only be done on a page-by-page basis within an existing project.
App instructions
Note: You can also embed Google Docs into xTiles using the embed block. Learn more about embedding here →
