# Exports and Sharing: Every Chart Output Option Explained

> What each of the five chart export options produces — share links, offline copy, PDF report, Markdown copy, and Open in GPT explained.

Every chart in Jyoti Guide can be saved, shared, or handed off in several formats. Each option is built for a different use case — one is best for bookmarking, another for printing, and another for passing the full chart data to a person or an AI assistant. This page describes what each option produces so you can choose the right one for what you need.

<Warning>
  All exports contain personal birth data — a name, date, time, and place of birth. The **Open in GPT** and **Copy share link** options send or expose that data outside the chart view. Use them only when you are comfortable with where the information is going.
</Warning>

***

## Copy share link

This option copies a URL that reopens the **exact chart you are looking at** — the same birth data, ayanāṁśa, and active panel state. Anyone who has the link and access to the app sees exactly what you see. Use it to send a chart to another reader, to a student, or to save a direct bookmark you can return to later.

<Info>
  Share links encode the full birth data in the URL itself. Treat any share link as you would any piece of personally identifying information — a date, time, and place of birth is enough to narrow down an individual. Share deliberately and only with people you trust.

## Offline copy

This option saves a **self-contained copy** of the chart that does not depend on a live connection to the app or its servers. Open it later in any browser, with or without internet access. Use it when you want to archive a reading, keep a chart on a device that goes offline, or preserve a snapshot of the chart as it looked at a specific moment.

***

## Full report (PDF)

This option generates a **complete, printable document** that includes the chart wheel, the planets table, dignities, house lords, aspects, combustion, planetary strengths, and the Vimśottarī period timeline — laid out and paginated for paper. Use it when you need to print a finished reading, email a client a formal record, or store a document-quality copy in a folder or archive.

***

## Copy chart (Markdown)

This option copies a clean **Markdown summary** of the entire chart to your clipboard, ready to paste into notes, a message, a document, or a prompt. It is the most portable export format and the most complete in terms of calculated data. The Markdown copy includes:

* **Metadata** — place name, local and UTC birth times, time zone offset, geographic coordinates, zodiac type (sidereal), ayanāṁśa in use, house system (whole-sign), and node type (mean).
* **House table** — sign, occupants, degree, nakṣatra, and pada for all twelve houses.
* **Dignities** — exaltation, debilitation, own sign, mūlatrikoṇa, and friendship status for each planet.
* **House lords** — the ruling planet for each house and its current placement.
* **Aspects (Parāśarī)** and **Aspected by** — full aspect lists for each planet, using classical Parāśarī aspect rules.
* **Combustion** — which planets are within the combustion threshold of the Sun.
* **D9 Navāṁśa** — the complete navāṁśa chart.
* **Vimśottarī Daśā** — birth balance, the daśā/antarā period active at the target date, and the full mahādaśā timeline.
* **Shadbala** — total virūpas, rūpas, and the six-bala breakdown for each planet.
* **Aṣṭakavarga** — the bindu maps for each planet and the Sarva Aṣṭakavarga.
* **Gochara** — current transits, the house overlay for transiting planets, transit-to-natal aspects, and nakṣatra triggers.

<Note>
  The Markdown copy is the recommended way to **hand a chart to another person or to an AI assistant** in plain text. It gives the recipient everything they need to discuss the chart without logging in to the app.
</Note>

***

## Open in GPT

This option passes the chart data directly to an AI assistant so you can ask questions about it in a conversational format. You can ask about a specific planet, a daśā period, a compatibility question, or anything else you want to explore. The **interpretation comes from the assistant**, not from the app — treat it as a knowledgeable discussion partner that can engage with your chart, not as a definitive authority.
