Export the Map
1 min read
You can take your map out of Hawzu in two ways: as a JSON file with the whole map, or as a PNG picture of what’s on screen. There is no PDF export.
Both are in the Data group of the action rail (the column of buttons on the right edge of the Atlas page).
Export as JSON
Section titled “Export as JSON”-
In the Data group, select Export the map as JSON — nodes, routes and journeys.
-
Your browser downloads the file.
The file contains the whole map: every item with its type, position, links and where it came from; every route; and every journey with its steps.
Use it as a backup before a big reorganisation, to compare against an earlier export, or to feed the structure into another tool.
Download as a Picture
Section titled “Download as a Picture”-
Switch to the view you want — Tree or Map. Apply any filters, or follow a journey, if you want them in the picture.
-
In the Data group, select Download the map as a picture (Map view) or Download the tree as a picture (Tree view).
-
Your browser downloads a PNG file.
The picture captures only the view on screen. It includes a caption with the map’s name, the date and the number of items (plus any filter or journey you’re following), and a colour key for the item types. Very large maps are saved at a lower resolution — Atlas tells you when this happens.
Use it for release review decks, sign-off documents and onboarding material.
What Isn’t Exported
Section titled “What Isn’t Exported”The JSON file holds the map’s structure, not coverage numbers or health states. The picture shows health colours as they look on screen at that moment.
For a coverage or readiness report, use Reports or the sign-off report.
