Summary
It would be useful to allow users to import .docx files directly into Plane Wiki pages.
The import process could automatically convert the DOCX content into Markdown, preserving the main structure of the document.
Why should this be worked on?
When importing a .docx file into a Wiki page, Plane should:
- Extract the document text
- Convert headings into Markdown headings
- Preserve lists, tables, links, bold, italic, and basic formatting
- Convert images when possible
- Insert the converted content into a new or existing Wiki page
Why this is useful
Many teams already keep documentation in Word or Google Docs format. Allowing DOCX import would make it easier to migrate existing documentation into Plane without manually copying and reformatting everything.
Possible flow
- User opens a Wiki
- User selects Import
- User uploads a
.docxfile - Plane converts the file to Markdown
- Plane creates a Wiki page with the converted content
Additional notes
This could also help teams migrate from external documentation tools into Plane more easily.
