### Troubleshooting

#### I'm importing my notes but they don't appear

We've found issues for users who are importing their notes from a removable USB storage device. This is an operating system issue and not related to Flowtelic. If you are having this issue and are using a removable USB storage device, please try copying the files to your local computer first, and dragging the local copy into Flowtelic.
