Content Protection & AIImport from Trello
Moving over from Trello? Import from Trello brings an existing board into SievePage. New here? See what a commission queue looks like on SievePage first.
How it works
You can start an import two ways:
- From the sidebar, any time: hover any page in the sidebar, your main page or another page, click its ⋯ menu, and choose Import.
- While making a new page: click + to add a page, pick Import from Trello under Start from, and the new page is created with your board.
Either way, paste your board's public link, choose whether to bring cover images and attachments along, then import. When you import into a page you already have, everything is added to it and nothing already there is removed.
What gets imported:
- Columns
- Cards
- Labels
- Dates
- Cover images and attachments
Archived lists and cards stay in Trello. Members and assignees aren't mapped, since they belong to Trello accounts.
The board has to be public
SievePage reads your board through its public Trello link. The board needs to be public for the import to see it.
To make a board public: open it in Trello, click Share, and set visibility to Public. Run the import, then switch it back to private afterward.
Importing the same board more than once
You can import the same Trello board into more than one page. The one thing you can't do is import the same board into the same page twice.
- Into a different page: allowed. On Pro you can keep several pages and import the same board into more than one. See Plans and pricing for how many pages each plan includes.
- Into the same page again: SievePage stops it. You will not end up with two copies of every column and card stacked on the page.
Limits and safeguards
A few built-in limits keep imports safe and reliable:
- Public boards only: the import reads public boards.
- Built for one board at a time: very large boards may be too big to bring in one go.
- Steady pace: imports are rate-limited. A burst of back-to-back imports may need to wait a moment between runs.
- Your storage is respected: imported cover images and attachments count toward your quota, and an import that would push you over is stopped before anything is created. Free up space, import without attachments, or upgrade to Pro. See Storage.
- Same protected upload path: attachments come in through SievePage's own locked-down storage, the same pipeline as every other upload, never from an outside source. See Content protection and AI.
- No accidental duplicates: the same board cannot be imported onto the same page twice.
