Exporting & Sharing
Cognivo Chat lets you export conversations to a local file in several formats, and create shareable read-only links for use outside the platform.
Exporting a Conversation
To export:
- Open the conversation.
- Click the three-dot menu (⋯) on the conversation.
- Select Export.
- Choose a filename and format.
- Click Export to download the file.
Export Formats
| Format | File Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Screenshot | .png | Visual capture of the conversation as it appears on screen |
| Text | .txt | Plain readable text, no formatting |
| Markdown | .md | Preserves heading and code formatting |
| JSON | .json | Full structured data including metadata and branches |
| CSV | .csv | Tabular format suitable for spreadsheet tools |
Export Options
Some options are only available for specific formats:
| Option | Available For | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Include endpoint options | TXT, MD, JSON | Adds model and configuration info to the export |
| Export all message branches | JSON, CSV | Includes branched conversation paths, not only the main thread |
| Recursive export | JSON only | Exports branch structure recursively rather than sequentially |
Sharing a Conversation
Sharing creates a read-only link that anyone can open without signing in to Cognivo Chat.
If the Share option is not visible in the conversation menu, shared links are not enabled on your account.
To create a share link:
- Open the conversation.
- Click the three-dot menu (⋯) on the conversation.
- Select Share.
- Click Create Link.
- Copy the link or scan the QR code.
To refresh a link (the previous URL stops working), click Refresh Link. To remove access immediately, click Delete Link.
Managing Shared Links
To view and manage all your active shared links:
- Open Settings (click your user name at the bottom of the left sidebar → Settings)
- Go to the Data tab
- Click Manage in the Shared Links section
The table shows all active links with their titles and creation dates. You can sort by title or date, search by title, open the source conversation, or delete links individually or in bulk.
