Import and Export

A document should not be trapped in one tool. Dock exports to the formats your work has to land in, and imports from the places your draft already lives, so the editor fits into the rest of your workflow instead of replacing it.

Export

Export a finished document to the format your destination needs:

• Markdown, for a repository, a static site, or another Markdown editor.
• HTML, for the web or for pasting into a system that takes rich text.
• Plain text, for the cases that want words and nothing else.
• Word (DOCX), which keeps your formatting, and carries track-change marks so a reviewer opens it in their own Review tab.
• PDF, through your browser’s print to PDF, for a fixed, shareable copy.
• Copy to clipboard, to lift the document straight into wherever you are pasting.

Each export renders the document as you see it: headings, lists, tables, math, images, and citations come through formatted.

Import

Bring outside writing into a document:

• Import a web page by its URL, and Dock pulls the article’s content into the editor as a clean document you can edit.
• Import a PDF, to bring a document on your disk into the editor.
• Import Markdown, to drop an existing Markdown file in as formatted content.

Imported content becomes a normal Dock document: you can format it, cite within it, run AI on it, and publish it like anything you wrote from scratch.

Where exports and imports show up elsewhere

• A Word export preserving track changes is covered in Track Changes.
• Importing a web page is also available through the document API, see the agent API docs.
• To publish a document as a web page instead of exporting a file, see Publishing.
