# Export your work

Download notes, chats, annotated PDFs, spreadsheets, and references.

Export the item you want to keep from its menu. The available formats depend on the kind of item.

## Notes and chats [#notes-and-chats]

Choose **Word** for an editable document, **PDF** for a fixed layout, or **Markdown** for plain-text editing. **LaTeX PDF** compiles the output; **LaTeX source (.zip)** gives you source files to continue editing elsewhere.

Citation formatting uses your [global citation style](/guides/citation-styles). Open the exported file and check its layout, equations, images, and references before sharing it.

## PDFs with annotations [#pdfs-with-annotations]

Open the PDF's menu and choose **Download with annotations** to include your highlights and comments. That option appears when the file has annotations. Use **Download** for the original file.

## Generated files [#generated-files]

When the agent creates a document, deck, image, or chart in chat, download the attached result. Ask for the exact format you need. See [what the agent can create](/guides/agent-outputs).

## If export fails [#if-export-fails]

Wait until the item has loaded and changes have saved, then retry. If one format fails, another can help preserve your work while you [contact support](/guides/troubleshooting#contact-support). Include the item name and requested format.
