note: You can also toggle "Quick Export" in the menu — when enabled, clicking the FAB immediately exports using your last-used format without opening the menu.

What Happens After Export

After clicking a format in the menu:

  1. Export starts immediately — no second button to click
  2. Progress ring — an animated ring appears around the FAB showing export progress
  3. Download — the file downloads to your browser's default download location
  4. Success modal — a confirmation dialog appears showing:

- The exported file name and format - A random usage tip - A "Buy Me A Coffee" support button - Premium feature highlights

  1. Click anywhere outside the modal to dismiss it

💡 Tip: Enable Super One-Click in Settings to skip the success modal — the menu closes immediately after download for a faster workflow.

tip: The success modal also shows an enterprise section with "Custom Feature" and "Tech Support" buttons if you need help.

Common Prompts — Saved Snippets

The FAB menu includes a 📝 Common Prompts submenu — a quick way to access your saved prompt snippets.

How it works:

  1. Hover over the 📝 Common Prompts item in the FAB menu
  2. A side panel slides out showing your saved prompts
  3. Click any prompt to use it

Two output modes:

  • ⌨️ Output to Input — inserts the prompt directly into the AI chat's text input box
  • 📋 Output to Clipboard — copies the prompt text to your clipboard

Managing prompts:

  • Click ⚙ Manage Prompts at the bottom of the submenu
  • Add, edit, delete, and reorder your saved prompts
  • Each prompt tracks how many times you've used it

💡 Common Prompts are stored locally in your browser — they're never sent to any server.

note: On mobile, the Common Prompts submenu uses a drill-down navigation instead of a hover side panel.

note: If you didn't receive the license key email, check your spam folder or contact support at support@xwxexporter.com.

Step 5: Download Your Export

After selecting a format, the export processes locally in your browser. Your file downloads automatically.

For PDF, Markdown, and Word exports:

  • The file is saved to your browser's default download location
  • File naming follows your settings (smart filename or custom)
  • If subfolder organization is enabled, files are placed in the correct folder

For Notion sync:

  • The conversation is pushed directly to your connected Notion workspace
  • Content is auto-structured with headings, blocks, and metadata
