Export and print a notebook

Open the more actions menu in the notebook editor for three options.

Duplicate notebook

Makes a full copy. Useful as a template - build one notebook the way you like it for a textbook chapter, then duplicate it for each new chapter instead of rebuilding the structure every time.

Export as Markdown

Downloads the notebook as plain markdown text. Good for backups and for moving your notes into another tool, since markdown opens in essentially any editor.

Export as PDF

Opens your browser's print dialog, where you choose Save as PDF. There's no separate PDF engine, so the result looks like whatever your browser prints.

What happens to embedded content when printed

Interactive blocks can't be printed, so decks, tables, texts, PDFs and videos appear in the printed version as labelled references rather than their contents.

This matters if you're printing a notebook to study away from a screen: the explanations and notes come across, but an embedded deck shows up as a pointer to that deck, not as a word list. If you want the vocabulary on paper, export the deck itself - it has a PDF glossary and a PDF quiz format built for printing.
