Finish and export a book
Finish has four pages: About the book, Market, Front and back matter, and Export and what next. Each has a status you set as you go.
Export
Open Finish, then Export and what next, and choose Export…. Choose Save beside the format you want. You can also start from the book's menu, under its title at the top left: Export or print…. Plain text and Markdown are made on this device; Word and EPUB need a connection.
