Step 14: Finalizing and Organizing

Now you and your team can organize the information in the best ClickUp way, being able to create more folders and place the automatically created lists inside it and so on or using it in Docs format (Notion’s main feature).

Here is an example of how Here’s my import and how I organized it for my clickUp, remembering that everyone has their own way of organizing!

The import created these two views, the first a “Notion Tasks” folder with the lists inside and the second in Docs format (Notion’s main one) as “Imported from notion”:

Clicking on “Notion Tasks” the import left all my Notion items in this folder in list format:

So I reorganized them into folders and lists and it looked like this:

And the view in Docs of the import looks like this:

Just reorganize it the way you want and what’s best for you!
