# Import from URL

BeyondWords lets you import written content from a URL, ready for conversion into [audio](/docs-and-guides/content/audio) and/or [video](/docs-and-guides/content/video). If you don’t want to [integrate your website](/docs-and-guides/integrations/integrations-overview), this is the fastest and most reliable way to get content into the platform.

## Import an article from a URL

1. Go to **Content → Items** in your project dashboard
2. Click the **⌄** icon alongside **+ Item**
3. Click **Import from URL**
4. Paste a link to your article then click **Continue**

Once your content is imported, you can use the [Editor](/docs-and-guides/tools/editor) to generate audio and/or video.

<Tip>
  Having trouble importing content from a URL? Check your [content extraction](/docs-and-guides/integrations/content-extraction) settings. These settings control how BeyondWords accesses and extracts content from webpages, including pages that require authentication, use JavaScript, or have other access restrictions.

## FAQs

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What content will be imported from the URL?">
    Your project's [content extraction](/docs-and-guides/integrations/content-extraction) settings determine what content is imported from the URL. We recommend using automatic extraction to automatically identify editorial content and exclude content that shouldn't appear in audio/video (e.g. navigation menus).

    Alternatively, you can set up manual extraction using content filters.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What types of URLs are supported?">
    BeyondWords works best with publicly accessible webpages, such as standard article or blog URLs. PDFs and other non-HTML formats are not supported.

    If your page is behind a login or paywall, you may need to configure custom request headers or allow access from a static IP address in your [content extraction settings](/docs-and-guides/integrations/content-extraction).

    If your content cannot be accessed via a URL, consider using an [integration](/docs-and-guides/integrations/integrations-overview) where content is provided directly rather than extracted from a live webpage.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I edit the content after importing it?">
    Yes, you can edit the content you import from URL via the [Editor](/docs-and-guides/tools/editor).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens if I update my live article?">
    Importing from URL captures the content at a specific point in time, so changes to the live article won’t be reflected in BeyondWords.

    If you want to update your audio or video, you can edit the content in the [Editor](/docs-and-guides/tools/editor) or re-import the URL to create a new version.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I import multiple URLs at once?">
    You can't paste multiple URLs to import multiple articles at once. However, you can use [integrations](/docs-and-guides/integrations/integrations-overview) to import content at scale.
