# How do I share a chat as plain Markdown text?

Add .md to the end of a chat share link to get the chat as plain Markdown text, which you can paste into another tool.

Every chat share link has a plain Markdown form. It holds the chat's title, then each message under a heading that shows who wrote it, either **User** or **Bluedeer**. If the link was made for one message, the text stops at that message.

## Get the Markdown form

Take your share link, which looks like `https://bluedeer.ai/share/abc123`, and add `.md` to the end:

`https://bluedeer.ai/share/abc123.md`

Developers can get the same text from the normal link by asking for it with the request header `Accept: text/markdown`.

## Who can open it

The Markdown form follows the same access rules as the chat's share page:

- A **Public** link opens without signing in.
- A **Workspace** or **Specific people** link needs the viewer to be signed in as a permitted person. Without that, the page answers that sign-in is needed.
- A link that has expired or been revoked no longer works.

## Use it

Copy the text and paste it into another tool, or give it to another AI assistant to read.
