- TutorialExport modes (which can be set using the export modal) are sort of like presets, in that each one has certain default settings. However, some options are only available in a certain export mode. In the end you should read through the purpose of each mode and select the one that works for your use case.
This mode is meant for people creating a digital garden who plan to upload their HTML files onto a web server. This mode enables a bunch of optimizations that make Incremental Export possible, and enable your page to load fast over the internet. This is the preferred mode of export if at all possible.
The downside is that your files get broken up into lots of different files. All the scripts, styles, fonts, etc., are stored separately. This means that these files cannot be opened locally, they must be hosted on a web server.
This mode is meant for people wanting to open or share their documents locally. They don't intend to host them on a web server or create a website. Rather they want a way to share their documents in a way that maintains their interactivity and rich content.
The downside is that the produced HTML files are much larger, and some aspects of the navigation between files is compromised. Additionally, the Graph View and Search Bar are not supported in this mode.
This mode is identical to the HTML Documents mode, except that the sidebars are excluded from the export.
