How to Import Your Readwise Library to Integrate
Switching from Readwise doesn’t mean starting over.
Integrate supports full import of your Readwise library. All your highlights, book metadata, source information. Your reading history transfers in a few minutes.
Two ways to import
CSV export (one-time). In Readwise, go to account settings and download your highlights as CSV. In Integrate, go to Import, select “Readwise CSV,” and upload the file. Integrate creates a snippet for each highlight with the book title, author, and original text preserved.
Recurring sync. Connect your Readwise account for automatic, ongoing sync. New highlights you add in Readwise show up in Integrate within 24 hours. Good if you’re transitioning gradually or running both tools in parallel.
What comes over
Every highlight transfers with full metadata: the text itself, book title and author, which app or service the highlight originally came from, and any tags you added in Readwise.
After import, each highlight becomes a snippet. The system generates topic suggestions and search embeddings automatically, so your imported content is organized and searchable right away.
What changes after import
Your imported highlights enter the same flow as everything else in Integrate:
- AI suggests topics based on content
- Notebooks with matching topics auto-add relevant highlights
- Daily sessions start including imported content in the spaced repetition cycle
- Search covers everything instantly
Most people notice their daily sessions get better immediately after importing, because there’s suddenly a much larger pool of quality highlights to draw from.
Why people switch
Readwise is a good product. People who move to Integrate usually point to a few specific things:
Podcast snippets. Integrate lets you clip moments from podcast episodes and transcribe them. Readwise doesn’t do this.
AI extraction from articles and emails. Integrate’s Digest reads articles for you and suggests the best passages, instead of only storing what you manually highlight.
Daily sessions with topic weights. You tell the system what subjects matter most to you right now, and your review sessions adjust.
Social discovery. Follow other people, share notebooks, discover content through your network.
Common questions
Will my Readwise account be affected?
No. Import copies your data. Nothing is moved or deleted from Readwise.
Can I use both tools at the same time?
Yes. With recurring sync, new Readwise highlights flow to Integrate automatically.
How long does import take?
CSV imports finish in under a minute for libraries up to 5,000 highlights. Larger ones may take a few minutes.
What about duplicates?
Integrate detects them during import and skips highlights that already exist.
