Solutions:
- First create at least one chapter under the "Drafts" folder
- Check network connection, refresh the page and try again
Q: The exported file has garbled characters?

Solutions:

- Open with Word: Word automatically recognizes UTF-8 encoding
- Mac system: Open with TextEdit or VS Code
Q: Chapter order is incorrect after export?
