Overview

Exporting lets you download reports in formats suitable for presentations, documentation, and offline access. You can export both single reports (per-interview) and project reports (aggregated) in DOCX or Markdown formats.

DOCX format

Microsoft Word format with full formatting, ideal for presentations and documentation.

Markdown format

Plain text format with Markdown syntax, perfect for version control and editing.

Offline access

Download reports for viewing and sharing without internet connection.

Archive and backup

Keep local copies of reports for archival or backup purposes.

Export formats

Aseed supports two export formats:
FormatDescriptionBest for
DOCXMicrosoft Word document format with full formattingPresentations, documentation, sharing with stakeholders who need to edit or annotate
Markdown (.md)Plain text format with Markdown syntaxVersion control, editing in text editors, integration with documentation systems

How to export single reports

Single reports can be exported to DOCX format. Each report type (Transcript, Q&A, General, Persona, JTBD, Custom) can be exported individually.
1

Open the record

Navigate to the record containing the report you want to export. Open the record from the Records page or from your project’s records list.

2

Open export menu

Click the Export button in the navigation menu or header. This opens a dropdown menu showing all available report types for export.

3

Select report type

Choose the report type you want to export from the dropdown menu. Only report types that have been generated are available for export (others show “Not available”).
You can export multiple report types separately. Each export creates a separate DOCX file with the report type name in the filename.
4

Wait for export

The system converts the report to DOCX format. This may take a few seconds depending on the report size. You’ll see a loading indicator during the process.
Large reports (over 8 MB) cannot be exported. If you encounter this limitation, consider exporting smaller sections or using Markdown format for project reports.
5

Download the file

Once the export is complete, the DOCX file automatically downloads to your default download location. The filename includes the record title and report type (e.g., “Interview_John_Doe - Q&A Report.docx”).

How to export project reports

Project reports can be exported to both DOCX and Markdown formats. Project reports include aggregated insights from multiple interviews.
1

Open the project report

Navigate to the project report you want to export. You can access project reports from your project’s reports section or from the Project Reports page.

2

Open export menu

Click the Export button in the navigation menu or header. This opens a dropdown menu with two options: “Export to .Docx” and “Export to .md”.

3

Choose export format

Select your preferred format:
  • Export to .Docx - For presentations and documentation with full formatting
  • Export to .md - For version control, editing, or integration with documentation systems
DOCX format includes a header with project name, report title, and export date. Markdown format is plain text and can be easily edited in any text editor.
4

Wait for export

The system processes the export:
  • DOCX: Converts Markdown content to Word format (may take longer for large reports)
  • Markdown: Generates plain text file (usually instant)
DOCX export has a 60-second timeout. Very large project reports may exceed this limit. In such cases, use Markdown export instead.
5

Download the file

Once the export is complete, the file automatically downloads. The filename includes the project name, report title, and export date (e.g., “Product_Research - Synthesis_Report - 2024-01-15.docx”).

Export format details

DOCX format

DOCX (Microsoft Word) format preserves all formatting, structure, and styling from your reports. This format is ideal for:
  • Presentations - Share with stakeholders in a professional format
  • Documentation - Include in project documentation
  • Editing - Recipients can edit and annotate the document
  • Printing - Professional print-ready format
Features:
  • Full Markdown formatting preserved (headings, lists, tables, links)
  • Support for admonition blocks (info, warning, tip, note)
  • Automatic header with report title and metadata
  • Language-specific formatting (locale support)
File naming:
  • Single reports: [Record Title] - [Report Type].docx
  • Project reports: [Project Name] - [Report Title] - [Date].docx

Markdown format

Markdown (.md) format provides plain text with Markdown syntax. This format is ideal for:
  • Version control - Track changes in Git repositories
  • Editing - Edit in any text editor or Markdown editor
  • Integration - Use with documentation systems (MkDocs, Docusaurus, etc.)
  • Lightweight - Small file size, fast export
Features:
  • Plain text format with Markdown syntax
  • Includes header with project name, report title, and export date
  • Compatible with all Markdown processors
  • Easy to convert to other formats
File naming:
  • Project reports: [Project Name] - [Report Title] - [Date].md
Markdown export is currently available only for project reports. Single reports can be exported to DOCX format.

Export limitations and errors

File size limits

  • Maximum file size: 8 MB (Markdown content before conversion)
  • Timeout: 60 seconds for DOCX conversion
  • If your report exceeds these limits, you’ll see an error message

Common errors

ErrorCauseSolution
File too large (413)Report content exceeds 8 MB limitExport project reports in Markdown format, or split into smaller sections
Conversion timeout (504)Export took longer than 60 secondsUse Markdown format for very large reports, or contact support
Report not found (404)Report hasn’t been generated yetGenerate the report first before exporting
Conversion error (500)Markdown format issueCheck the report content for formatting errors, regenerate the report
If you encounter size or timeout issues with DOCX export, try exporting to Markdown format instead. Markdown exports are faster and have no size limitations.

Supported report types

Single reports export

All single report types can be exported to DOCX format. Each report type is exported as a separate file.

Q&A ReportDOCXQuestion-answer pairs with citations
General ReportDOCXComplete profile with insights and recommendations
Persona ReportDOCXPersona profile with motivations and pain points
JTBD ReportDOCXJobs-to-be-Done framework analysis

Project reports export

Project reports can be exported to both DOCX and Markdown formats. Project reports include aggregated insights from multiple interviews.

DOCX format features

Admonition block support

DOCX export supports custom admonition blocks in Markdown, which are converted to styled callout boxes in Word documents:
  • Info blocks (ad-info) - Blue information boxes
  • Warning blocks (ad-warning) - Yellow warning boxes
  • Tip blocks (ad-tip) - Green tip boxes
  • Note blocks (ad-note) - Gray note boxes
These blocks appear in your reports and are preserved in the exported DOCX file with appropriate styling.

Language and locale

DOCX exports support language-specific formatting:
  • Default locale: ru-RU (Russian)
  • Locale setting: Automatically uses the report’s language setting
  • Formatting: Language-specific date, number, and text formatting

File structure

Exported DOCX files include:
  • Report header - Report type and title
  • Full content - All sections, formatting, and citations preserved
  • Metadata - Record/project information embedded in document properties

Best practices

Export after final edits so the shared version stays consistent. Make sure all edits, corrections, and updates are complete before exporting to avoid sharing outdated versions.
Select the export format based on how the report will be used. DOCX is best for presentations and documents that need editing, while Markdown is ideal for version control and integration with documentation systems.
Exported files automatically include the record/project name, report type/title, and date. The system generates descriptive filenames, but you can rename them after download if needed.
Export important reports for archival purposes. This ensures you have local copies even if reports are deleted or modified in Aseed. Consider exporting both DOCX and Markdown versions for maximum flexibility.
For maximum flexibility, consider both exporting and creating a public link. Exports provide offline access, while public links allow real-time viewing of the latest version.
For very large project reports, use Markdown export to avoid size and timeout limitations. Markdown files are smaller and export faster than DOCX.
For single reports, you can export each report type separately. This allows you to share specific analysis types (e.g., just Q&A or just Persona) without exporting everything.
