openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Feature]: Export session transcript as Markdown or plain text from Control UI [1 comments, 2 participants]

Summary

Add the ability to download a full session conversation as Markdown or plain text from the Control UI.

Problem to solve

Session history is only accessible inside the Control UI with no way to archive, share, or process it externally. There is no API endpoint for export either.

Proposed solution

• An export button on each session view that downloads the conversation as .md or .txt
• Optionally: a GET /openclaw/sessions/:id/export endpoint for scripting/automation

Alternatives considered

Copy-pasting manually from the UI — lossy, slow, and doesn't preserve formatting or tool output blocks.

Impact

Medium — useful for record-keeping, sharing with collaborators, feeding into RAG pipelines, or building audit trails.

Evidence/examples

ChatGPT, Claude.ai, and most AI chat interfaces provide conversation export. Particularly valuable when sessions contain structured tool outputs or research results.
