Claude export guide

How to export your data from Claude.

Open Claude on the web or desktop, go to Settings → Privacy, and choose Export data. Save the archive from the emailed download link. Keep it as a reference copy; a full-account import into Quartz is not supported.

Save your export

  1. Use the web or desktop app

    Open Settings → Privacy and select Export data. This flow is not available from the mobile app.

  2. Open the export email

    Wait for the download link sent to your account’s email. You must be logged in to access it.

  3. Save your archive

    Download within 24 hours, before the link expires. Open the archive and check the material you expected.

What to check if it doesn’t appear

  • Check the email associated with the correct account, including spam.
  • If the link has expired, request the export again.
  • Individual accounts can export their data. Team and Enterprise organization exports require the Primary Owner; check the official account-specific instructions.

Keep the archive as your original copy

Download the file somewhere you can find again. Open it and check that the material you expected is present before changing or closing your original account. Exporting a copy does not require deleting the source.

An account archive can contain much more than the document you want to work on. Select the relevant passage or document rather than sending an entire archive into an AI conversation.

Bring selected work into Quartz

  1. Choose the useful material

    Find the draft or passages you want to continue. Include the context needed to understand them.

  2. Create a document

    Once you have workspace access, paste the content into a Quartz document. For an existing Word file, use File → Import → Word document.

  3. Check the result

    Review formatting and source references. Ask a focused question about the document, then choose which response passages to insert.

An archive is not a full workspace transfer

Quartz does not import a complete account archive from this product. Conversation trees, account settings, permissions, and workspace structure are not automatically recreated. Keep the archive for reference and move the work you want to develop.

The public Quartz demo is a way to try the conversation. It does not replace your own account archive or provide a full migration service.

A few practical questions

The short ones are here. For anything else, ask below.

Will exporting delete my Claude content?

The export steps create a copy. They are separate from deleting content or closing an account.

Can I upload the entire export into Quartz?

There is no automatic full-account import. Select content to paste into a document, or import a Word file. Check the resulting document before relying on it.

Can I start using Quartz today?

Quartz is opening access through its waitlist. You can explore the public demo, then join the waitlist for your own workspace. Signing in is for people who already have access.
