How to export a selected GitHub Discussion with context
A discussion export helps retain a question, proposals and responses in a reviewable document. The useful result makes the conversation structure clear enough for another reader to follow.
Start with the right material.
- What you provide
- one short readable GitHub discussion with selected replies.
- The intended result
- Selected readable discussion text and replies.
How the workflow works.
Preserve the discussion title, original post and readable replies, including attribution and references where available. Distinguish a marked answer from other suggestions if that state is explicit.
What to check in the result.
Check that quoted code and response relationships survived the export. The record should not present every suggestion as authoritative project guidance or claim to include unread discussion history.
Preview the Markdown to check headings, lists and links as well as the words. Keep source references with the document so a reviewer can trace important statements back to the material you supplied.
Learn from the worked example.
The downloadable Markdown example shows one possible organization of the result. Read it alongside the source example and notice which statements are recorded facts, proposed wording or questions still needing an answer.
The supplied example is illustrative. It is not a recorded run on your data.

- Open the source you want to work with and activate WebAct on that tab.
- Copy the task from the hero, add any required fields or preferences, and review the proposed actions.
- Compare the first result with your source. Ask for a specific correction or refinement where needed.
