📣 Finally – Export, Copy & Download Tana Content Like a Pro!

Export has been one of the most requested features in Tana, and we hear you. Your notes are yours, and you should never feel locked into any tool. It’s taken time to build it the right way, but we’re excited to say: First version of Export as Markdown is finally here.

Whether you’re backing up, migrating, or sharing, it’s now easier than ever to get your data out of Tana, your way:

🗂️ Export entire workspace as Markdown

🔎 Download specific subsets of nodes (e.g. all items with a supertag), with or without fields

📋 Copy nodes as Markdown, again with full control over what’s included

Export workspace in Markdown

• Each workspace can now be exported in Markdown or JSON format.

• The Markdown export is intended to be used for export to other tools, or for browsing the files, and should be used in most cases. The JSON export is for technical use cases, where you want the full export with all metadata (incl. Tana-specific structures).

• The markdown export will download a zip-file, when you open it you can browse the markdown files in a file manager or import it into a tool that supports markdown.

• References will be represented with markdown links, so it’s possible to navigate between files.

• Images/video files will not be included in the export, but will be represented with markdown links, so they can be viewed or downloaded.

To export your workspace, go to the home node in the sidebar, open the menu on the right side:

Download selection of nodes

• If you want to download a selection of nodes, e.g all tagged items or results in a search node, you can use the Download as command.

• Select the nodes you want to export (Use Select children in search nodes to include content of the nodes)

• Exclude supertags and fields if you want to share externally

New Copy options

• We have also added new commands for copying in markdown to the clipboard, with and without supertags and fields.

• This replaces the old “Copy as plain markdown”.
