Data Transfer Guide
Paper Banana doesn't offer a direct export function for analysis results or annotations. You'll need to download your original documents from Paper Banana's document library manually. These will be in their original formats (PDF, Word, etc.). Save them to organized folders on your local system or cloud storage. For Doclime import, simply upload these files through Doclime's web interface or API. Unfortunately, any saved queries, custom configurations, or analysis history from Paper Banana cannot be transferred—you'll need to recreate these in Doclime manually. Consider documenting your most important Paper Banana workflows before migration to ensure accurate recreation.
