Select ChatGPT or Claude. You can select multiple files - they'll be processed chronologically.
Be patient: Large archives may take time and impact Obsidian performance during indexing.
- ChatGPT:
Archive Folder/chatgpt/YYYY/MM/conversation-title.md - Claude:
Archive Folder/claude/YYYY/MM/conversation-title.md
- Images/Files:
Attachment Folder/provider/ - Claude Artifacts:
Attachment Folder/claude/artifacts/conversation_id/artifact_v1.md
- Import Reports:
Archive Folder/Reports/provider/import-report.md
You can safely reimport the same ZIP file to:
- Add new conversations from updated exports
- Upgrade old conversations with new features
- Fix any import issues
The plugin automatically detects existing conversations and handles updates intelligently.
Currently, Claude exports don't include project association data. This limitation has been reported to Anthropic. Individual conversations are imported regardless of their project association.
- Large archives (1000+ conversations) may take several minutes to process
- Obsidian may become temporarily unresponsive during indexing
- Check the progress dialog for current status
- Large archives with many attachments take longer
- Restart Obsidian if the process seems frozen
- Enable "Import Attachments" in settings
- Check that your export includes the attachments folder
- Some older exports may not contain all referenced files
- Use Reading View for the best experience
- Ensure your Obsidian theme supports callouts
- Check that the plugin is up to date
