How queryable exports work
When you export a document, Ontoic publishes it as a linked unit: the document text and all its source nodes travel together. Anyone who opens the link sees not just the finished text but the full knowledge base behind it. Recipients can type any question and receive a source-grounded answer drawn from the document’s nodes — the same cited, traceable responses you get when you use Ask yourself. The knowledge base doesn’t require the recipient to have an Ontoic account, and nothing about the underlying sources is hidden.Creating an export
1
Open the document in Work Canvas
Navigate to the document you want to share and open it in the Work Canvas.
2
Click Export
Click the Export button in the top-right toolbar to open the export panel.
3
Choose visibility
Select Private link to share with specific people, or Public to make the document discoverable by anyone with the URL.
4
Copy the queryable link
Ontoic generates a unique link. Copy it from the export panel.
5
Share the link
Send the link to whoever needs it. They can open it immediately — no sign-up required.
What the recipient sees
When someone opens your exported link, they get:- The document text — your full write-up, formatted exactly as you produced it.
- An Ask interface — a query box they can use to ask any question about the document’s subject matter.
- Source citations — every answer the Ask interface returns is cited back to specific nodes, just as it is for you.
- No account wall — recipients can read and query the document without creating an Ontoic account or starting a trial.
Use cases
- Sharing research with clients. Deliver a report they can interrogate themselves rather than one they have to take on faith.
- Submitting reports for review. Let reviewers audit your reasoning by asking the knowledge base directly — they can verify any claim without requesting your raw notes.
- Publishing analysis. Readers who disagree with a conclusion can probe it from the inside, asking the underlying sources rather than just disputing the text.
