If any of the great minds who monitor this Site have any experience in said migration, I would be most appreciative for direction.

I have a lot of data in TB, but, while TB has many nice visualization characteristics, my initial forays into CT suggest that it may offer flexibility that justify the loss of some visual delight.

I want to import TB’s Thought titles, notes, tags and URL’s. The evident Export functions leave a lot to be desired. At best, I have been able to Import folders, but the folders show titles in CT that are internal numbers vs original “Thought” titles.

Open to any kind assistance as I have not had luck with the CT Forum.

Thx!

I suggest you repost your question on the CT Forum. There is at least one power user of TheBrain there that I know of, so you should be able to get some advice there as well.

I made this move, but it was some years ago and I can’t remember any more the exact steps I did. I have a vague memory that I exported from the Brain in html and imported that into Connected Text. I did have a lot of manual work to do working on the texts, but I don’t remember having to rename all the topics so reckon that part worked.
