Hello Discourse I am using Discourse as a learning community member. Love the platform. We have these amazing discussions pertaining to topics and categories. I want to roll all these conversations and save 'em to my local disc, for reference. Is it possible to export a conversation, especially ones that are lengthy, having 100s of responses? I tried using the browser ‘print’ feature but the content is lost at the juncture of pages. Thanks lakshmi

You can do CTRL + P or append /print to any URL in Discourse to save it as a PDF. Also, see these topics with details on this feature, it has been discussed extensively: [תמונה] Move topics from one Discourse instance to another Self-Hosting Need to move some stuff from one instance of Discourse to another? There is a command line tool to export a topic, a set of topics, or an entire category, and another to import them in at the other end.

Thank you @osioke I tried the Command+P on my MacBook for Chrome but it is not working.. I am not a coder to work with HTML or JavaScript or other such recommendations. I want to export to PDF, that’s all.

Interesting! It works fine for me on Edge [image] What browser are you using and what version is your Discourse instance? Can you try on the latest chrome browser here on Meta?

Im on Chrome.. Lemme try with an update and get back in 2mins..

Im having difficulty… my url is – and the appendage doesn’t go with it. I’ll delete the URL once you’ve read it..

Yep, the admin sorted it for me.. Thank you @osioke :raised_hands:

Maybe the site admin has disabled that? You should reach out to them.
