Open the **More options** menu at the top of the thread, select **Export**, choose **Conversation** or **Replies**, then choose **Word Document (.docx)** or **Text File (.txt)**.

The same menu is on every row of the **Threads** page.

## What each option contains

- **Conversation** — every message, with **You** above your own and the model's name above each reply.
- **Replies** — the model's replies only, with no headers.

Both start with a citation line naming the University of Nicosia, the date, and the model that produced the replies. Choose **Word Document (.docx)** to keep pictures in the file; **Text File (.txt)** leaves them out.

## Copy instead of downloading

Select **Copy to clipboard** in the same menu, then **Conversation** or **Replies**. Paste it wherever you need it.

To cite one reply on its own, open **Message actions** on that reply and select **Copy Citation**.

## Send someone a link

Select **Copy link**. The link opens the thread's read-only view. Whoever opens it needs access to AI Studio in the same Account; they can read the thread and fork it, but not write in it.

## Export several threads at once

1. Open the **Threads** page.
2. Tick the threads you want.
3. Select **Export** in the toolbar, then a format.

More than one thread is delivered as a single ZIP file.

## If it did not work

- Nothing downloads: allow downloads from Evolve in your browser, then export again.
- The menu shows **Copying...** and stops: reload the page and copy again.
- The recipient of a link sees nothing: they need access to AI Studio in the same Account.
- Pictures are missing from the export: use **Word Document (.docx)**. Text files carry no pictures.
