Exporting to a File Format

Exporting a document is pretty straightforward. Click on the Export button in the headerbar of the application. The resulting popover window will display the export panel at the top. Select the export format from the dropdown menu, change any applicable export options, and select the Export... option. This will display a file dialog window to allow you to choose a save location. After selecting a directory, choosing a location to save the file to and giving it a name, click the Export button. Minder will automatically add the proper file extension if it is not provided in the name.

Exporting to the Clipboard

In addition to exporting to a file, you can also export almost any of the supported formats to the clipboard as well which is useful for pasting this output into another application. The option to export to a clipboard can be found at the bottom of the list of export options. Select this option and click the Export button to copy the output contents to the system clipboard.
