How to get Microsoft Copilot chats into Obsidian or Notion (2026)

Microsoft Copilot chats on copilot.com and copilot.microsoft.com can become notes in Obsidian or pages in Notion once they are Markdown files on your computer. ThreadVault 1.2.3 exports those chats from a signed-in Copilot tab, with YAML frontmatter already at the top of each file. This page covers that route.

The export itself is described in full in how to export Microsoft Copilot chats to Markdown and JSON. What follows is how to file the result.

Obsidian

Obsidian reads plain Markdown files in a vault folder. ThreadVault's Copilot Markdown is already in that form.

Export your Copilot chats with ThreadVault. Use Export this chat for the conversation you have open, or Bulk export for many chats in one ZIP. You need a signed-in tab on copilot.com or copilot.microsoft.com, and Chrome with ThreadVault 1.2.3 or later.
If you used bulk export, unzip the archive. You will have a copilot/ folder of files named like copilot/2026-11-10 Your Chat Title.md.
Copy that copilot/ folder into your Obsidian vault, for example next to grok/, chatgpt/ or perplexity/ if you already keep other AI chats there. See export all four sites in one place for a combined layout.
Open Obsidian and confirm the notes appear. Each file already has YAML frontmatter for title, date, created, updated, source and url (and model when the chat has one), so you do not have to type those fields by hand. Your messages are under a "You" heading and Copilot's replies under a "Copilot" heading.
Link the notes into your project pages with wiki links if you want, and search across the folder as you would any other vault notes.

When Copilot includes thinking or chain-of-thought text, ThreadVault puts it in a collapsed section in the Markdown, so the transcript stays readable. Progress and search-status lines are left out. Code blocks are kept as they were (tested on 10 November 2026). Images, files and citations on Copilot were not part of that test, so they are not claimed here.

Notion

ThreadVault does not send chats to Notion. The reliable route is the same as for other Markdown files: export first, then use Notion's own importer.

Export the Copilot chats as Markdown, as above. For a Notion import, you want the .md files. Leave the matching .json files and the manifest out of the import set.
Import those Markdown files into Notion using Notion's built-in Text & Markdown (or ZIP) importer. The click-by-click steps, including how to zip a folder of .md files for a large batch, are in our guide to exporting ChatGPT chats to Notion, which follows Notion's import help. The importer is the same; only the source of the Markdown is different.
Imported pages may land in your Private section first. Move them into a database or page if you want to sort them by date or topic. Check a page with a collapsed thinking section after import, since how Notion shows it is up to Notion's importer.

Before you export a big Copilot library

If Copilot's chat list does not load through the usual page requests, ThreadVault lists the chats already visible in the open sidebar instead, and shows a warning. Scroll the sidebar to load more, then refresh, so older chats are included.
If Copilot indicates that more history pages exist than it sent, ThreadVault warns that older messages may be missing.
The manifest in the ZIP lists every chat that was exported, and any chat that could not be read, so you can see what reached your vault.
