# Quick Start Guide

Get up and running with Markdown Exporter for Confluence in just a few minutes.

## Installation

1. Go to the [Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/102037374)
2. Search for **"Markdown Exporter for Confluence"**
3. Click **"Get it now"**
4. Select your Confluence Cloud instance
5. Complete the installation

## Open the Exporter

There are two ways to launch the exporter:

**From a page (recommended for single page or tree exports):**

1. Navigate to any Confluence page
2. Click the **•••** (More actions) menu in the top-right corner
3. Select **"Export to Markdown"**

**From global navigation (recommended for space exports):**

1. Click the **Apps** menu in the Confluence global navigation
2. Select **"Markdown Exporter"**

## Your First Export

### Export a Single Page

1. Open the exporter from the **•••** menu on any page
2. Make sure **"Single Page"** is selected
3. Optionally enable **YAML front matter** or adjust filename pattern
4. Click **"Preview"** to see the rendered Markdown
5. Click **"Export"** and download your `.md` file

### Export a Page Tree

1. Open the exporter from the **•••** menu on the parent page
2. The page tree loads automatically — select or deselect pages as needed
3. Use **in-tree search** to find specific pages by title
4. Configure options (YAML front matter, Obsidian mode, filename pattern)
5. Click **"Export"** and download the ZIP archive

### Export an Entire Space

1. Open the exporter from the **global Apps menu**
2. Select your target space from the space picker
3. All pages load in the tree — select the ones you want or select all
4. Configure export options
5. Click **"Export"** and download the ZIP

## Understanding the Output

Multi-page exports download as a **ZIP file** that mirrors your Confluence page hierarchy as folders:

```
my-space-export/
├── Home.md
├── Engineering/
│   ├── index.md
│   ├── Architecture.md
│   └── Deployment Guide.md
└── Product/
    ├── index.md
    └── Roadmap.md
```

Each `.md` file optionally starts with YAML front matter:

```yaml theme={null}
---
title: Architecture
author: Jane Smith
date: 2026-04-23
space: ENG
confluence_id: 123456789
