Exporting notes

Download a note as Markdown or copy it to the clipboard.

Plainwork stores every note as Markdown, so export is lossless.

Export a single note

  1. Open the note.
  2. Click the menu in the note header.
  3. Choose Export.
  4. Pick Markdown (.md) or Copy to clipboard.

Export a whole collection

  1. Open the collection.
  2. Click the menu in the collection header.
  3. Choose Export collection as Markdown.

You'll get a .zip of .md files, one per note, with frontmatter containing property values.

What's in the markdown

  • The body you wrote.
  • Frontmatter with property values, title, and the Plainwork note ID (used for round-tripping).
  • Images are embedded as URLs to Plainwork-hosted assets (they stay accessible while the note stays shared).
