Sharing and Exporting Conversations
Share Kimi conversations with colleagues and export them for your records.
What You Will Learn
- Share a Kimi conversation via public link.
- Export a conversation as markdown or text.
- Export all conversations as a data archive.
- Manage shared link permissions.
- Build a sharing workflow for collaboration.
Why This Matters
Work is collaborative. You will need to share a Kimi conversation with a colleague, export it for your records, or archive it before deleting your account. Kimi supports all three workflows, though the controls are not always obvious.
Concept Explained
Kimi offers three export mechanisms. Share creates a public read-only link that anyone with the URL can view. Export as Markdown downloads the conversation as a markdown file with prompts and responses preserved. Export Account Data downloads a zip of all your conversations and uploaded files. Each has different use cases — share for collaboration, markdown export for individual records, account export for backup or migration.
How It Works
When you share a conversation, Kimi generates a unique URL that points to a read-only copy of the conversation. Anyone with the URL can view the conversation but cannot edit or continue it. Shared conversations include your prompts and Kimi's responses, but not attached files (those remain private to your account). When you export as markdown, you get a .md file with the conversation structured as prompts and responses. When you export account data, you get a zip with all conversations as markdown plus all uploaded files.
Step-by-Step Tutorial
1. Share a conversation
Open any conversation. Click the Share button at the top. Copy the generated URL. Open it in an incognito window to verify it works.2. Export as markdown
Open any conversation. Click the export or download icon. Select Markdown. Save the file to your computer.3. Export account data
Go to Settings → Account → Export Data. Click Request Export. Wait for the email notification (may take minutes to hours). Download the zip.4. Manage shared links
Go to Settings → Shared. Review your active shared links. Revoke any you no longer want public.5. Build a sharing workflow
For recurring collaboration, set a standard: share links via your team's chat tool, set an expiration if available, and revoke after the collaboration ends.Real-World Example
A consultant finished a research project for a client. She had a Kimi conversation with the analysis, including uploaded financial reports. She exported the conversation as markdown for her own records, then shared the link with the client (without the attached files, which she sent separately). Six months later, when the client had a follow-up question, she still had the markdown export and could reference the prior analysis in seconds.
Common Mistakes
- Sharing links without checking what they expose. Review the shared view in an incognito window first.
- Forgetting to revoke shared links after collaboration ends. Old links linger indefinitely.
- Not exporting important conversations before deleting them. Deletion is permanent.
- Assuming shared links include attached files. They do not — files are private to your account.
- Using account export as a backup without testing the restore. Download the zip, extract it, and verify you can read the markdown files.
Best Practices
- Share links for collaboration — anyone with the URL can view the conversation.
- Export as markdown for individual records — preserves prompts and responses.
- Export account data for full backup — includes all conversations and files.
- Review and revoke old shared links periodically.
- Test the restore of any backup you create.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | How to Fix |
|---|---|
| Share link does not work | Verify the URL is correct and you are signed in (some sharing requires authentication). Try opening in an incognito window. |
| Cannot find export button | Look for a download icon at the top of the conversation, or in the three-dot menu. |
| Account export email did not arrive | Check spam folder. If still missing, re-request the export. Contact Moonshot support if it never arrives. |
| Shared link shows different content than my conversation | The shared view may be a snapshot from when you shared it. If you have continued the conversation since, the shared link does not include new turns. |
Practical Exercise
Your Turn
Pick any conversation you would want to share with a colleague. Click Share and copy the URL. Open it in an incognito window to see what others will see. Then export the same conversation as markdown and save it to your computer. Finally, request an account data export and verify it arrives.
Key Takeaways
- Share creates a public read-only link.
- Export as Markdown saves the conversation as a .md file.
- Export Account Data downloads a zip of all conversations and files.
- Shared links do not include attached files.
- Review and revoke old shared links periodically.
