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 .md file 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.

Print

⌘P opens the macOS print dialog, with a PDF option built in. Equivalent to Save as… → PDF for most uses.
