What is in the Notion import pack?
The download includes an optional NOTION-IMPORT.zip with authored Markdown page templates and sample-filled CSV databases.

Set up the imported pages and tables yourself. These are not native Excel, Canva, or Word templates. Extract the whole ZIP before opening the HTML files. Mobile file managers may not run local scripts; the text files and reading edition remain available.
