How to import Google Docs in Notion

Google's Docs app is great, and so is Notion.

If you want to import your work from Google Docs into Notion, the let us tell you that you can do that.

Notion thought of this, hence why they have an "Import" function which specifically allows you to import Google Docs into your Notion workspaces.

Why import Google Docs into Notion?

Automatically importing Google Docs into Notion is way faster than manually copying and pasting your content.

At the same time, automatically importing Google Docs to Notion will keep all of your content's properties, so this way, you'll make sure that you're not loosing any of your progress when transferring it from Google Docs to Notion (such as text, formatting and so on).
