Exporting a document

Getting content out of Workover, in the three shapes people actually ask for.

Copy or download as Markdown

From the document menu: Copy as Markdown puts the whole document on your clipboard, Download as Markdown saves a .md file.

Headings, lists, links, tables, code blocks and images all convert. Images come through as Markdown image references pointing at their URLs, so the text stays readable on its own.

This is the format to reach for when handing a document to an assistant, or into any tool that reads text better than HTML.

Download the images as a zip

Download images collects every image in the document into a zip, with sensible filenames rather than the hashes they are stored under.

Useful when you are handing a piece to a designer, moving to another site, or need the assets separately from the words.

The published page as plain text

Every published article is also available at its .md URL — append .md to the article’s address:

https://workover.dev/docs/quickstart      the page
https://workover.dev/docs/quickstart.md   the same page as Markdown

It is served as plain text, so it opens in a browser tab rather than downloading, and anything that fetches it gets the content without the site’s chrome. The Copy page button on each article does the same thing to your clipboard.

What is not an export

Publishing to WordPress is not an export — it is a sync. The document stays linked to the post and can be pushed again. See how WordPress sync works.

If you are leaving, note that everything already published is already on your own WordPress site; nothing has to be extracted to keep it.
