# 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](/docs/everyday-use/organise-notes-and-attachments).
