## Sharing vs. exporting

* If you want to **collaborate on a document**, consider using **Share Links** instead of exporting. This allows others to view or edit the document in Craft.
* You can also publish documents online via **Public Links** for easy sharing.

## Best practices for exporting

* Use **PDF or Word** for professional document sharing.
* Choose **Markdown or TextBundle** for cross-platform compatibility.
* **Batch export** multiple documents for backups or migrations (Mac & iPad only).
* **Check formatting** after exporting to ensure all elements appear correctly.

By using Craft's export features, you can seamlessly move and share your content in the format that works best for you.
