How to migrate data from old-Boostnote to Boost Note
Updated the migration instruction for BoostNote.next v0.12.x
Thank you to all the users who have used Boost Note for a long time!
You will need to manually transfer data from the old-Boostnote to the new-Boost Note (Just a few seconds!).
1. Download the new app
2. Create a local workspace
Click the plus button on the left bottom coner.
Choose “Local Workspace”
Submit name and location for the new workspace.
- Storage Type: Don’t change it. The storage type must be File-System. Other types don’t support the migration.
- Location: Please create a fresh folder and don’t use the same directory of the legacy storage.
3. Migrate data
- Open preferences from the app menu. (macOS: Boost Note -> Preferences, Windows/Linux: File -> Preferences)
- Select the “Storage” tab from the left navigator.
- Click the “Import” button.
Provide the location of the legacy storage and choose a destination folder for the new local workspace. (If you want to migrate data to the root directory of the local workspace, please provide / for the destination.)
Then, click the “Import” button.
Then you will see your legacy notes in the destination folder!
