Export and back up your manuscript

Language

Downloads live in Settings, under Export & Backup. Every format pulls from the same source -- the release version you've selected for each chapter or article section -- except the JSON backup, which is the one format that preserves everything.

TXT and JSON: available on every plan

A TXT download includes the selected release version of every chapter or article section in the work -- the same text that counts toward your book's progress. It's the plain-text equivalent of the assembled manuscript.

A JSON download is a full backup rather than a reading copy: it keeps every saved version of every chapter, not only the release version, along with your story notes and timeline records. It's the format to reach for before a large revision, or simply to hold your own copy of everything.

PDF and Word: Pro downloads

PDF and Word (DOCX) downloads follow the same release-version rule as TXT -- one selected version per chapter, assembled into a single formatted document -- and are available on the Pro plan. On Free, choosing either format links to the Pricing page instead of starting a download.
