If you do not want to import images and videos, clear the Copy all media files used in selected Markdown files checkbox.
Click Next.
Specify the name and location for your new project and click Finish.

In the Table of Contents pane of the Writerside tool window , click
New Topic and select Link Topic Files to TOC.Start typing the name of the file to filter the list and select the topic you want to add to the TOC. If necessary, change the order and hierarchy of the topics. For more information, see Table of contents.
