What's this about?
Notion can now open `.md` (Markdown) files directly as read-only previews and import them as Notion pages.
What exactly is Markdown?
Markdown is plain text with lightweight symbols for formatting (`#` for headings, `bold`). It's the lingua franca of developer docs — and, lately, of AI: nearly every AI agent writes its notes, plans, and outputs in Markdown files. That's why a note app supporting `.md` in 2026 is an AI story: Notion is building the bridge for the flood of agent-generated documents.
