Quick start

Import your first framework

1. Open the import wizard: Command palette (Ctrl/Cmd + P) > “Crosswalker: Import structured data”

2. Select a file: Choose a CSV or XLSX file containing your framework data. For example, a NIST 800-53 controls spreadsheet.

3. Configure columns:

   • Mark hierarchy columns (these become folders): e.g., Control Family, Control ID
   • Mark frontmatter columns (these become note properties): e.g., Description, Discussion
   • Mark link columns (these become WikiLinks): e.g., Related Controls

4. Preview: Review the folder tree and sample note output. Adjust if needed.

5. Generate: Click generate to create the folder structure and notes in your vault.
