Take it anywhere
Your document is already a plain Markdown file on your Mac, you can open and edit it anywhere. When you need to share it in a format your reader expects (Word, PDF, web page), codraft exports in one click.
Export from the File menu
In the menu bar: File → Save as… opens the export menu. Pick a format:
- DOCX, for sharing into Google Docs, Word, or any office suite.
- PDF, for read-only sharing, attachments, signing.
- Markdown (
.md), the file format codraft uses natively. Useful if you want a copy without overwriting the original. - HTML, for publishing to a blog or pasting into a CMS.
codraft asks where to save the file and writes it there. A small "Exported" toast confirms when it's done.
What gets exported
Everything you see in the doc:
- Headings, paragraphs, lists, quotes
- Bold, italic, code, links
- Tables
- Inline diagrams (architecture, sequence, flow), rendered as part of the page
- Code blocks with syntax highlighting
What's not exported:
- Comments and comment threads (they're collaboration metadata, not document content).
- Version history (the export captures the current version; restore an earlier one first if you want to export it).
- Presence indicators ("Claude is writing…", carets), they're editing-time UI only.
Round-trip tips
- Markdown → anywhere → Markdown. Because the source is plain Markdown, you can hand the
.mdfile to anyone who uses Obsidian, Bear, VS Code, GitHub, etc. They edit it; you reopen it in codraft, no conversion loss. - PDF for signatures, DOCX for tracked changes. Use PDF when the doc is finished; DOCX when someone's going to send back redlines.
- HTML for the web. The exported HTML is self-contained, paste it into a blog post or CMS without external dependencies.
⌘P opens the macOS print dialog, with a PDF option built in. Equivalent to Save as… → PDF for most uses.
