Restore

Getting started

Before you can restore your workspace, it needs to be backed up at least once. To make sure that the restore process goes as smoothly as possible, reauthorize your workspace from the workspace settings and include all the pages you want to back up.

If you're on the Starter plan, you can only restore your workspace under the same workspace. You will need to create an empty page called "Notion Backups Restore" and grant Notion Backups access to it. Your existing workspace data will not be overwritten.

If you're on the Pro plan, you can also restore your data to another workspace.

Once you initiate the restore, you will receive detailed instructions via email.

Limitations

There are some limitations imposed by Notion's API, which make a complete restore impossible at this moment. Some of the current limitations are:

• Top-level pages can only be nested under another page
• Not all block types are supported
• Properties such as Rollup, Created by, Created time, Last edited by, or Last edited time can't be restored accurately
• Media files can't be uploaded
• Database views don't get restored
• Relations are only restored to the same workspace
• Embed blocks don't render fully
• The order of blocks might not always be preserved
• Only unresolved comments are restored
• Comments will carry the integration's name and won't have accurate timestamps
• Blocks with large text content (e.g. code, paragraphs, list items) will be split into smaller chunks

If you're restoring to a different workspace, additional limitations may apply:

• Synced blocks can't be restored
