Export
Select any note and use the export menu to save as PDF, Markdown, JSON, or VTT (with speaker information).
Backup
Copy the entire data directory to back up your notes. Include this folder in your regular backup routine. Since data is stored as human-readable JSON and Markdown files, you can also version control your notes with Git.
