# Export Research from Noesis: Formats and Integrations

> Export Noesis conversations as Markdown, SVG vector mind maps, or structured JSON. Push content directly to Notion or Obsidian with built-in integrations.

Every research session in Noesis is a structured artifact — a branching conversation tree with a rich hierarchy of ideas that shouldn't stay locked inside a single tool. Noesis lets you export that work in multiple formats optimized for different destinations: readable Markdown documents, high-fidelity vector graphics of your concept maps, and structured JSON for programmatic use. You can also push content directly into Notion or Obsidian, so your AI-assisted research flows straight into the knowledge management system your team already relies on.

## Export Formats

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Markdown Export" icon="file-lines">
    Export your conversation as a Markdown document that preserves the full thread hierarchy — branches become nested sections, and the parent-child structure of your research tree stays intact. The output is clean, portable, and immediately usable in any Markdown-compatible editor, blog platform, or documentation system.
  </Card>

  <Card title="SVG Export" icon="vector-square">
    Export your concept map as a vector SVG graphic — a resolution-independent visual representation of your entire conversation graph. SVG files scale perfectly at any size, making them ideal for embedding in presentations, inserting into reports, or printing at high resolution.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

### JSON Export

The **JSON export** serializes your entire conversation tree — including branch metadata, node relationships, message content, and model attribution — into a structured data file. Use JSON output to build custom tooling, feed conversation graphs into downstream pipelines, or archive research sessions programmatically.

<Note>
  SVG export and direct integrations to **Notion** and **Obsidian** are available on all plans, including the free **Origin** plan.
</Note>

## Direct Integrations

### Notion

Export one or more conversation branches directly to a Notion page. Noesis maps the thread hierarchy to Notion's block structure, so your branching research lands as a well-organized, readable document — not a wall of unformatted text. You'll need to connect your Notion workspace once from **Settings → Integrations** before your first export.

### Obsidian

Export conversations as Markdown vault entries compatible with Obsidian's linking conventions. Each exported branch becomes a standalone note, and internal cross-references between branches are preserved as `[[wikilinks]]` so your Obsidian graph view reflects the same structure you built in Noesis.

## How to Export

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Export menu">
    Click the **Export** icon in the top-right toolbar of your thread or Space view. The Export panel opens as a slide-over from the right side of the screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose what to export">
    Select the scope of your export:

    * **Single branch** — exports only the currently selected branch node and its descendants
    * **Full tree** — exports the entire conversation from the root node, including all branches and forks
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select your format">
    Pick one of the available export formats — **Markdown**, **SVG**, or **JSON** — or choose a direct integration destination: **Notion** or **Obsidian**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Download or send">
    * For file formats (Markdown, SVG, JSON): click **Download** to save the file to your device
    * For integrations (Notion, Obsidian): click **Export to Notion** or **Export to Obsidian** to push the content directly to the connected workspace
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Exporting a Single Branch vs. the Full Tree

You don't have to export everything at once. Noesis gives you two scopes for every export:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Single branch">
    Select a specific node in the concept map or conversation tree before opening the Export menu. Noesis exports only that branch and everything below it in the hierarchy. This is useful when one line of reasoning within a larger research session has matured into a standalone deliverable — a report section, a design decision, or a hypothesis write-up.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Full tree">
    Leave the scope set to **Full tree** to export the entire conversation from its root, including every fork, merge, and synthesis node. The Markdown output uses nested headings to represent depth, the SVG renders the complete concept map, and the JSON captures all node relationships and metadata. Use this for archiving complete research sessions or sharing the full scope of a project.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Tip>
  Use **Markdown export** on individual branches to assemble a research report piece by piece. Export the branch that contains your methodology, then the branch with your findings, then the one with your conclusions — and combine them into a final document in your editor of choice. Each exported branch becomes a ready-to-paste section.
