# Export multiple study notes as one PDF revision pack

> When you need an offline revision pack, printable handout, or ordered topic document, selecting the right notes is more useful than exporting an entire library. BrainDen can read several selected notes together and export that selection as one PDF while the originals stay separate and editable.

## What this workflow gives you

### Export only what belongs together

Build a focused pack for one exam topic, tutorial, or project instead of carrying unrelated notes into the same document.

### Keep the originals editable

The export creates a portable document; it does not combine, delete, or overwrite the notes in your study library.

### Choose PDF or Markdown

Use PDF for a stable reading or printing format and Markdown when you need a text-based document for another compatible workflow.

## Create one portable document from selected notes

1. **Select the notes for one purpose:** Choose the lecture, reading, explanation, and worked example needed by the recipient or revision objective. Leave out notes that add volume without useful context.
2. **Check the continuous reading order:** Read the selection together and make sure definitions appear before applications, repeated introductions are tolerable, and each note has a recognizable title.
3. **Export and inspect the document:** Create the PDF or Markdown export, open the result, and check headings, diagrams, page breaks, specialist notation, and any material that depends on its original source.

## Example: an anatomy revision PDF

**Input:** Six notes from different folders covering cardiac anatomy, the conduction system, the cardiac cycle, pressure-volume loops, and two clinical examples.

**Possible output:**

- One ordered PDF that begins with structure and moves into function
- Clear note boundaries so each original topic remains recognizable
- A portable revision pack for offline reading without altering the six source notes

## How to get a better result

### Use note titles as document signposts

Rename vague notes before exporting. A reader should be able to scan the PDF and understand why each section is included and where one topic ends.

### Verify source-dependent details

An exported note may not carry every visual or contextual cue from the attached source. Check important quotations, equations, diagrams, and references before relying on the pack.

### Keep the pack focused

Create separate exports for unrelated exams or audiences. Smaller documents are easier to navigate, update, and replace when one underlying note changes.
