Step 1
Run preflight first
Preflight summarizes changed pages, changed snippets, and target impact before any destination writes occur. Review this every time, especially for shared snippets.
Guide
Export knowledgebases through a release workflow, not a manual sync.
Exporting is where SnippetGraph turns authored knowledge into durable outputs. The platform compiles pages and snippets into deterministic files, generates release metadata, and routes the result through your destination policy.
Why it matters
Export is a product surface, not a side effect
In SnippetGraph, publishing is not just saving files somewhere. It is the moment where content, governance, and operational reliability meet. The output contract, manifest shape, and release metadata all matter because downstream systems depend on them.
Workflow
How to export safely
Step 2
Check destination policy
Some targets may allow direct commits while others require pull requests. The policy should reflect the risk profile of the content and the review standard of the destination repository.
Step 3
Inspect deterministic outputs
SnippetGraph produces compiled files such as page markdown, snippet markdown, and manifest data. These outputs should be predictable and reviewable.
Step 4
Publish and monitor the release
Once approved, the publish flow executes target-aware sync jobs and records immutable release metadata so the team can audit what happened later.
Step 5
Use history for follow-through
After export, release history and audit surfaces help teams validate what shipped, trace issues, and recover from target failures without guessing.
Output shape
What gets produced
Current exports include page markdown, snippet markdown, and manifest metadata that captures hashes and file listings. Because the outputs are deterministic, downstream repositories and AI pipelines can trust that a release maps to an exact knowledgebase state.
That is especially important for agent and RAG systems, where stale or partial exports can turn into silent correctness issues.
Next move
Ship releases that are reviewable, reproducible, and easy to trust.
The export pipeline is where SnippetGraph stops being an editor and becomes operational infrastructure for knowledge.
