Export sessions


Overview

Save any conversation as a portable zip file for sharing, archiving, or reviewing outside of Kiro. The full thread is preserved: prompts, responses, tool calls, and code blocks.

Export a chat session

  1. Right-click the chat tab you want to export.
  2. Select Export Chat.
  3. Choose a location to save the zip file.
  4. Extract the zip to view the exported files.

What's in the zip

The exported zip contains:

  • chat.md: the full conversation in Markdown format (prompts, responses, code blocks, tool calls)
  • metadata.json: session metadata (agent name, model, timestamps, message count)

Use cases

  • Team sharing: export a session where you solved a complex problem to share the approach with teammates
  • Documentation: capture a session that explains architecture decisions
  • Debugging: export a session for review when investigating unexpected agent behavior
  • Archiving: save important sessions before clearing history

Exports are read-only. You cannot import an exported session back into Kiro.
