Quick answer

Export a study guide based on what you need next: EPUB 3 for an ebook package, Markdown for portable structured text, or plain text for the simplest compatibility.

Always open the exported file and check it.

Choose the format

Use the destination to decide.

  • EPUB 3: ebook reading and distribution workflows.
  • Markdown: headings and simple structure that stay easy to edit.
  • Plain text: maximum simplicity and compatibility.

Preview before export

Check chapter order, titles, paragraph breaks, and metadata before making the final file.

A reading preview can reveal missing breaks or duplicated chapter names.

Test the exported file

Open the EPUB in a separate reader. Open Markdown or text in another editor.

Check the beginning, middle, end, and chapter transitions.

Keep the source project

An exported ebook is not a replacement for the editable source project.

Keep the project and a backup so you can make future corrections.

Detailed troubleshooting checklist
