Images and documents
PNG for a slide, SVG when it needs to stay sharp, PDF for a document that will be circulated, and print with the canvas rendered on its own so the interface does not end up on the page.
Machine-readable formats
JSON for the diagram, SQL DDL in four dialects for the data model, Excel for the data dictionary, and Archify JSON for the architecture model.
A place for what gets generated
Documents and the Export Center keep generated artefacts attached to the diagram they came from, so an exported dictionary or migration script is traceable to the model version that produced it.

Questions
Which image formats are supported?
PNG and SVG, plus PDF and a print path that renders the canvas alone.
Are exports kept anywhere?
Yes — generated artefacts are deposited against the diagram and listed in Documents.
Can I export the underlying data model?
Yes, as SQL DDL, an Excel data dictionary or JSON.
