Saving a Conversation

support
1

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

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:

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.

Not sure how printing works in Mac, but try appending /print to any URL you want, that should give you the same result.

The page reloads and the URL reverts back to the original without the appendage.

Interesting! It works fine for me on Edge

What browser are you using and what version is your Discourse instance? Can you try on the latest chrome browser here on Meta?

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

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