Notes

Images;

• Images need to be hosted somewhere public, and then you use the URL in the CSV. Webflow will import that image and then store them in S3.
• It may miss some, if you have any where the filenames are problematic for Webflow ( e.g. > 100 chars ) or the file sizes are too large ( > 4 MB ), or are unsupported formats. So plan an audit of some form, and some manual fixups.
• If your current images are not optimized yet ( WEBP’s ) you’ll want to consider doing that now rather than later, which complicates the import prep but is more difficult to solve later.

Content;

• Webflow will convert your HTML to its own rich-text format. Most things will migrate fine, but some things may be problematic - tables, any dynamic charts, code excerpts.

Refs;

• Create the reference tables first and load them. Then, the ref fields should simply be specified as the slug of the item you are referencing.

Tools like powerimporter pro can help a lot with overcoming some of the glitches in the load process- so head in that direction if you hit hard barriers.
