Migrate from Citavi

Import your existing Citavi 5 and Citavi 6 libraries directly into Paperpile by following these steps:

1. Open Citavi and create a backup of your project. You will find this option in the File menu.
   
2. Locate the backup on your computer. It's a file ending with .ctv5bak or .ctv6bak. The backup file is actually a zip file. In order to extract it, replace the Citavi file ending with zip.
3. Once the zip file is extracted, you should see .ctv5 or .ctv6 files. These files can directly be uploaded to Paperpile.
4. In Paperpile, open the Add menu and choose Upload files.
   
5. Add the extracted .ctv5 or .ctv6 files to the upload dialog. Click Start upload to begin.
