Some notable caveats:

You can’t export an entire doc to Google Docs, only individual pages.

You can’t directly export to Google Docs, you need to create a button (or automation) to do the export.

The export doesn’t have perfect fidelity, and you should check the exported doc to make sure that content wasn’t lost.

In order to export to a filter, visit

, select the folder, and then copy the ID into the folder parameter of the button.
