Export and download Spaces

Use Space exports when you need to download all documents, export selected pages, save one page as PDF, Markdown, or Word (DOCX), or publish your documentation to Git or Confluence.

For copying a page or opening it in ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity, see Copy page and open in AI tools.

Using the Platform AI Agent with exports

The Platform AI Agent can explain export options, help you choose the right format, and guide you to the correct export workflow.

Some exports require you to click a button, choose files, authorize an integration, or download a file in your browser. In those cases, the assistant guides you, but you complete the final action on the Space page or integration page.

Examples:

  • "How do I export this Space as Markdown?"
  • "Should I use Markdown ZIP or DOCX?"
  • "How do I export this Space to Confluence?"
  • "Why do I see subscription required when exporting?"

Export a whole Space as Markdown

You can download all documents in a Space, or only selected pages, as a Markdown ZIP.

  1. Open the Space you want to export.
  2. In the left sidebar, turn on selection mode.
  3. Select the pages you want to export, or choose Select all to include every selectable page.
  4. Click Download as markdown.
  5. Your browser downloads a ZIP file.

Folders help organize the download, but only pages with content are included in the Markdown export.

What is inside the Markdown ZIP

The Markdown ZIP includes:

  • Individual .md files for the selected content pages, organized to match your Space structure.
  • A merged.md file that combines the selected content into one Markdown document.

Use the individual files when you want to keep the Space structure. Use merged.md when you want one combined document to share, review, or import elsewhere.

Export a single page as PDF, Markdown, or Word (DOCX)

You can export one page without downloading the whole Space.

  1. Open the page in your Space.
  2. Click the export or download button in the page editor.
  3. Choose PDF, Markdown, or Word (DOCX).
  4. The file downloads in your browser.

This is the best option when you only need one document as PDF, Markdown, or DOCX.

Export a Space to Git

Use Git export when you want to publish Space documentation into a repository, such as a /docs folder.

  1. Open the Space.
  2. Go to the Space Overview.
  3. Click Export to Git /docs.
  4. Choose the repository, branch, and export options shown in the modal.
  5. Start the export.

The export runs in the background. Watch notifications for completion or errors, and make sure the Space contains exportable pages with content.

You need a connected Git provider and permission to write to the selected repository or branch. For provider setup, see Git Connections.

Export a Space to Confluence

Use Confluence export when you want your Space pages available in Confluence.

  1. Open the Space.
  2. Go to the Space Overview.
  3. Click Confluence.
  4. Choose your Confluence connection.
  5. Select an existing Confluence space, or create a new one during export.
  6. Choose how existing pages should be handled.
  7. Start the export.

The export runs in the background. Watch notifications for completion or errors.

You need a Confluence connection with permission to create or update pages in the selected Confluence space.

Copy page or open in AI tools

Copying a page or opening it in another AI tool is handled from the Copy page menu in the page header. See Copy page and open in AI tools for the full workflow.

Subscription-required messages

If the Space was generated from a repository, export, copy, and open-in-AI actions can require an active paid subscription or active team subscription. You may see this message: Subscription required to export or copy repo-generated documentation.

This applies to repo-generated Spaces. Non-repo Spaces can still be exported based on your Space permissions.

If you believe you should have access because you have a paid subscription or team access, contact support with the Space name and the export action you tried.

For billing and support steps, see Account, billing, and support.

Troubleshooting

I selected items but the Markdown ZIP is empty

Make sure the selected items are pages with content. Folders and links organize the Space, but they do not export as Markdown documents by themselves.

I do not see export buttons

You may need permission to manage the Space. If the Space was generated from a repository, export actions may also require a paid subscription.

Git export is unavailable or fails

Check that the Space is connected to the correct repository and that you have access to the selected branch. If the export fails, review the notification and try again after updating the connection or export options.

Confluence export is unavailable or fails

Check that you have a Confluence connection with write access. If you are creating a new Confluence space, confirm the space name and key are valid and not already in use.

A background export did not finish

Exports to Git and Confluence run in the background. If you receive a failed export notification or the export stays incomplete, retry after checking the connection and permissions. If it still fails, contact support with the Space name and the export target.
