Our import and export features help keep your content organized and accessible, making it easier to continue your workflow without interruption. Let’s dive into the powerful import and export features that simplify your workflow.

Unlike imports or integrations, embeds let you seamlessly place content from various sources directly into tiles on your creative page. This helps you build a cohesive, easy-to-navigate dashboard, keeping all essential information right at your fingertips.
You can embed the following third-party services: YouTube, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Maps, Loom, Airtable, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, Figma and more.
