Logseq db import guide

Questions & Help
1

Is there a guide or something in how to import a Markdown graph to the db version? For example, it says “import specific tags”, but, what does “import” mean? What is a tag? In og version it was just a “different” way of referencing a page, instead of saying Today’s [[meeting]] you could say Today’s #meeting

What is “Import additional tags from property values”? And “import tag parents from property values”?

I’d like to find a guide that thoroughly explains all these features and how to configure them.

For example, I have lots of contacts with this “header”:

John Doe.md:

page-type:: [[Researcher]]
alias:: [[@Johnny UCM]]
lab:: [[JD LAB]]

Is it possible to import the page-type:: [[Researcher]] as a tag and keep the properties? (Even If I have to do some preprocessing with an script).

Oh I managed to do it by setting “import additional tags from property values = page-type”

But, how do I make aliases work?

Ok, aliases work but I thought they weren’t working because when I clicked the @Jonny UCM page from the alias property it opened a new, empty page. But from any other page it works. It was just a bug.

uhhh did you find a guide or anything? I’m realizing that I need to convert and feeling lost

No, but I used online version and private window to import with multiple options.

I recommend you don’t use the “Import all tags” option and instead make a list of what is useful to you.

I used this command to get all the “tags” in my markdown graph:

grep -o -h -E ‘#[a-zA-Z0-9_]+’ -r . | sort -u

Keep in mind that it will also output things in urls, so you have to manually filter what you think is a “tag” and what is just another way of referencing a page.
