## Frequently asked questions

### Can I put my firm logo on exports?

Yes, with Pro. Document templates set a cover page, logo, fonts, brand colour, header and footer for Word and PDF exports.

### Where do the exported files go?

To your browser's download folder. Document conversion runs in your browser; the extension does not upload your notes to its own server to convert them.
