Preview, copy, and export your writing

Review the writing in the Notes editor, copy its text or share the saved Markdown file. Use the actual saved format rather than assuming a separate export service.

Review in place​

The Notes page is a live Markdown editor. Headings, emphasis, lists, quotes, links and code receive styling in the same editable text view. Move the caret to a line to inspect its syntax markers. There is no separate preview pane required for this workflow.

Copy text​

  1. Finish or stop any active recording.
  2. Press Command K and choose Copy text for a nonempty draft.
  3. Paste into the intended destination.
  4. Read the pasted result before sending or publishing it.

The clipboard carries text. Do not assume that copying a Markdown audio link also copies its WAV file, or that the destination will render every Markdown feature.

Share a saved file​

Press Command S, then choose Reveal saved note. The file is Markdown. Open it in your preferred editor or attach that file through your sharing application.

For a note with audio, include the referenced recording files and preserve or adjust their relative paths. Check playback after moving the package. PDF, Word and HTML conversion belong to a capable destination application; this guide does not claim built-in converters for those formats.

If saving fails, preserve the draft with Copy text and resolve the visible error before discarding it. See notes and attachments.
