## Frequently asked questions

### Which format for Moodle?

GIFT is readable and quick to edit; Moodle XML carries more settings. See [GIFT vs Moodle XML](https://nlmexporter.com/guides/compare/moodle-gift-vs-moodle-xml).

### 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.
