Open your Conversation. 2. Navigate to the **Build** section. 3. Open the **Discussion Guide** page. 4. Click **Export** in the top right corner. 5. Select **CSV** or **DOCX**. Exports Include: - Question text - Question type - Answer options - Timing - Sections - Question settings ### When to Use This A CSV export is useful if you want to save a copy of your discussion guide for your records. CSV exports are intended for reference and documentation.  A Word document export is designed for easy reading and collaboration. Many teams use the Word export to review the guide with stakeholders and collect feedback before the Conversation. ### Edit and Re-upload a Word Document After exporting a discussion guide as a Word document, you can edit it in the Word document and upload it back into Remesh to update the existing discussion guide. This can be helpful if you are hoping to share your Discussion Guide with stakeholders for feedback and want to import the finalized guide. For step by step instructions, see the article on [uploading a discussion guide from a Word document.](https://help.remesh.ai/uploading-excel-or-word-document?hsLang=en) There are no formal formatting constraints when editing the Word document, but please note that currently[ branching questions](https://help.remesh.ai/question-type-branching?hsLang=en) cannot be added or edited in the Word document. Any branching logic must be managed directly in the platform.  ### Frequently Asked Questions - **Who can export a discussion guide?** Only moderators can export a discussion guide.
