Exporting the Backlog

For stakeholders who don't live in VS Code, run Export Backlog (Command Palette, or the $(export) icon in the Epics & Stories toolbar).

Formats

Format	Structure
Markdown	Epic (H1) → Story (H2) → Subtask (H3), Gherkin ACs in fenced code blocks
Word (.docx)	Same hierarchy as Markdown
Excel (.xlsx)	Flat one-row-per-story sheet — epic hierarchy doesn't suit a spreadsheet; includes EpicID, StoryID, SubtaskCount, SubtasksDone, and more

INVEST scores render as a compact badge string (e.g. ✓✓⚠✓✓✗) in Excel/Word, and as full per-criterion detail in Markdown/Word.

After picking a format, choose a save location; on success you'll get an Open File action.

Why no PDF?

There's no lightweight pure-JS way to render HTML/CSS to PDF without bundling a headless browser. Export to Markdown or Word and use your editor's or browser's print-to-PDF instead.
