People can't share notes and reviews with their context intact
Across note-taking, diagramming, and document-review tools, people can create useful content but struggle to export or share it in a usable form. Exports may omit comments, offer too little formatting control, or produce awkward files for long diagrams; collaborators may also need a copy they can use outside the original platform. The requests suggest a shared portability problem, though the specific gaps and integrations are tool-dependent.
For researchers, technical writers, and knowledge workers sharing work across tools. Mentioned from Jul 2023 to Dec 2025 on product forums, GitHub, Hacker News and Stack Exchange.

I have entered many comments on his work in Overleaf, and need a way to export them so that he can use them
To share content with other people, or reuse it in other tools, we indeed need better support. Right now it is very basic. A much better MD and PDF export is needed
