    1. To use .html or .md (Markdown) files, those files have to be in a zip.

  1. Once you're done adding docs, click the Download button. This will download a new zip file called guru-doc-import.zip for you to import into Guru.

  2. Follow these steps to import this new zip file into a collection.

Using PDFs instead of Word docs?

  • If you drag and drop a PDF into the above tool, it will appear as a single Card with a link to the PDF.

  • If you convert the PDF to a Word doc first, the content will appear directly in the Card. Adobe products can do one-off conversions and potentially streamline bulk-conversions.

Got Google Docs instead of Word docs?

  • When viewing a Google Doc you can go to File > Download > Microsoft Word (.docx)

  • You can also select multiple files or entire folders in Google Drive, right click, and select Download.

    • This will download as a zip file of .docx files that you can drop into the tool above!
