Pasting Markdown into Notes & Documents

Pasting Markdown into Notes & Documents

Last updated: May 2026


Storyflow preserves markdown formatting on paste. Paste a markdown-formatted snippet from Notion, Obsidian, GitHub, ChatGPT, or anywhere else, and the formatting comes across — instead of being flattened to plain text.

Where It Works

  • Sticky notes on the canvas
  • AI notes
  • Document editor (TipTap)
  • Tactic cards (front and back)

What's Preserved

  • Headings (#, ##, ###)
  • Bold (**text**) and italic (*text*)
  • Bullet lists and numbered lists
  • Checklists (- [ ], - [x])
  • Inline code and code blocks
  • Links ([text](url))

Use Cases

  • Drop a brief from Notion or Obsidian onto a board with formatting intact
  • Paste a GitHub README into a research note
  • Move ChatGPT outputs (which are usually markdown) into your workspace cleanly
  • Bring meeting notes from any markdown editor into your project

Tips

  • Trailing blank lines from pasted text are cleaned up automatically
  • Paste inside a list item to preserve nested list structure
  • For very long pastes, paste into a document instead of a sticky note
