Export a Workspace page

Use Export when you need an offline copy of a Workspace page, a Markdown file for editing elsewhere, or a PDF for sharing outside Workspace.

What export does

The modal title is Export page. Its description says: Download this page from its structured blocks and content. The export formats are Markdown and PDF document.

Export as Markdown

1. Open the Workspace page.
2. Open the page options menu.
3. Choose Export.
4. Select Download on the Markdown card.
5. Save the .md file from your browser.

The Markdown format is described as Portable and editable document content. Use it when you want text that can be edited in another Markdown editor.

Export as PDF

1. Open Export page.
2. Choose the PDF document card.
3. Select Download.
4. Wait for the PDF to generate.
5. Save the .pdf file from your browser.

PDF document is described as Print-ready document rendered from the actual page plugins. Use it when layout and reading format matter more than later editing.

What export includes

• Exports are created from the current page content only.
• The footer states: Exports are created from this page content only.
• If you need a public multi-page read-only output, open Share, switch to Publish, and choose This page and other pages.
• If the page has just changed, let it sync or use Force Sync before exporting.

Troubleshooting

• If export succeeds, Workspace can show Export ready.
• If export fails, Workspace can show Export failed with the error details.
• If a PDF is missing the newest edits, sync the page and export again.
• If the exported content is too large or not formatted as expected, export as Markdown and edit the file manually.

FAQ

Can I export an entire workspace? The confirmed export dialog exports the current page content only.

Does export include sub-pages? The confirmed export dialog says exports are created from this page content only. Use Workspace Sites for public output that can include sub-pages.

What should I do before exporting important content? Use Force Sync, then export the page once the latest edits are saved.
