Import Shortcuts

If you already have a list of links stored in your browser or in spreadsheets, you don’t need to recreate them one by one. Lora makes it easy to import shortcuts in bulk by uploading either your browser bookmarks or a CSV file.

How to import shortcuts

Click the Import button in the app to start. You’ll see two options:

• Import from Bookmarks
• Import from CSV

Import from Bookmarks

To import bookmarks, you first need to export them from your browser as an .html file. The steps depend on your browser:

Chrome / Edge / Brave

1. Open the browser menu and go to Bookmarks → Bookmark Manager.
2. In the Bookmark Manager, click the three-dots menu and select Export Bookmarks.
3. Save the file as bookmarks.html on your computer.

Firefox

1. Open the browser menu and go to Bookmarks → Manage Bookmarks.
2. In the Library window, click Import and Backup → Export Bookmarks to HTML.
3. Save the file as bookmarks.html.

Safari

1. In the menu bar, click File → Export Bookmarks.
2. Save the file as bookmarks.html.

Once you have the .html file, go back to Lora, choose Import from Bookmarks, and upload it. Each bookmark will be turned into a shortcut with the bookmark title as the slug and the bookmarked URL as the destination.

After the import, you can edit the shortcuts to adjust slugs, folders, tags, and visibility.

Import from CSV

The CSV import option is ideal if you’re migrating links from another tool or maintaining them in spreadsheets.

1. Prepare a CSV file with the following columns:
   • slug — the shortcut slug (e.g. handbook)
   • url — the destination URL (e.g. https://confluence.acme.com/hr/handbook)
   • folder — the folder name (optional)
   • tags — comma-separated list of tags (optional)
   • visibility — workspace, unlisted, or private
2. Upload your CSV file in the import dialog.
3. Review the preview of your shortcuts and confirm the import.

Each row in the CSV becomes a new shortcut in your workspace.
