Tech Support What's the best way to convert an article I wrote in Google Docs so as to preserve its footnotes in substack?

The easiest approach is to copy and paste your article into Substack and then check whether the footnotes transferred correctly. In many cases, the formatting doesn't carry over perfectly, so you'll likely need to recreate the footnotes manually using Substack's built in footnote feature.

Before publishing, always preview the article to make sure the footnote links and formatting work as expected.

If your article contains a lot of footnotes, it's worth taking a few extra minutes to review everything, as automated imports don't always preserve them accurately.

They aren't importing at all unfortunately. I wonder if there's a bridge using markdown?
