Before you organize my notes
Do I need to move every note?
Start with one project and test whether the structure helps before importing a whole archive.
What if the summary merges two different meetings?
Keep dates and source links beside decisions so you can separate them.
Can I include confidential work notes?
Use only a workspace approved for that data, with access limited to the people who need it.
