Move from Magical to Pagewing

Magical imports templates from a spreadsheet but doesn't export them, so they come over the same way: a spreadsheet with a shortcut and a text column. Placeholders in curly braces become fill-in fields.

  1. Find the spreadsheet you imported into Magical, or start one: a template per row, with a shortcut column and a text column (and name and folder if you like).
  2. Copy in any templates that aren't in it yet from Magical, then save or download the sheet as CSV.
  3. In Pagewing, open Templates on the web, press Import, choose Magical and drop the file.
  4. Check the preview and import, then turn Magical's text expansion off so a shortcut doesn't expand twice.

What comes over

  • Your templates with their names and shortcuts
  • Folders, when your spreadsheet has a folder column
  • Placeholders in curly braces, as Pagewing fill-in fields
  • Pagewing placeholders already in the text, such as dates, choices and if/then rules, as they are

What doesn't

  • Variables Magical fills in from your other tabs: in Pagewing you type those into the fill-in fields
  • Formatting and images: a spreadsheet holds plain text, so add images to a template afterwards
  • Shortcuts that clash with one you already have: they're left blank for you to set
Import from Magical You'll see what comes over before anything is added.

Can I export my templates from Magical?

Magical imports templates from a spreadsheet but doesn't export them. If you started from a spreadsheet, use that one; otherwise copy your templates into a sheet with a shortcut and a text column. In Pagewing you can export everything as a file any time.

Will my shortcuts still work?

Yes. Each template keeps its shortcut, like //ty. The importer can add a ; or / in front of shortcuts that have no symbol, and a shortcut that clashes with one you already have is left blank so you can pick another.

How many templates can I import on the free plan?

The free plan holds 20 templates, so the importer offers to bring in the first 20. Premium removes the limit and lets you fill in fields when you insert; on the free plan, each blank keeps its default.

Is Pagewing free?

Yes. Every tool works on the free plan, with a few limits. Premium removes the limits and adds features like share links, PDF signatures and cloud storage, for every tool at once. Pro adds Office conversions and bookmark cleanups on top. You only add a card if you decide to upgrade.
