# Import & Export

## Export

Fortelling currently offers 4 export options. You can export a chapter by opening a project and opening its settings. Select your book and export all your chapters all at once.

* `.fortelling`:  export your writing to a local backup. Keep this file safe, and you'll always be able to import it back into Fortelling.
* `.docx`: export your work in a ready-to-publish .docx format.
* `.EPUB` : Add metadata such as title, author, and unique ID (ISBN, ASIN, etc.), then export your story as an .EPUB file.
* `.txt` : export your writing to .txt.

I'm planning on adding more export features in the future: `.pdf` is planned to be added in the near future.

## Import

You can import a `.fortelling` file from within the chapters overview page. If you're in a project, tap on the book (if series is enabled), or open the chapters overview. When tapping the plus-button, you're prompted to create either a new chapter or import one.
