+### Export a static site
+
+Export your documentation as a self-contained static site for air-gapped or offline deployment:
+
+```bash
+mint export
+```
+
+This command builds your documentation and packages it into a zip file containing pre-rendered HTML pages, static assets, and a built-in server. The exported site runs entirely offline with no dependency on Mintlify's servers.
+
+The zip file includes:
+- Pre-rendered HTML for every page in your documentation
+- All static assets (JavaScript, CSS, images, fonts)
+- A Node.js server (`serve.js`) for serving the site locally
+- Launcher scripts for macOS/Linux (`Start Docs.command`) and Windows (`Start Docs.bat`)
+
+To use the exported site, unzip the file and either double-click the appropriate launcher script for your platform or run `node serve.js` directly. The site opens in your default browser at `http://localhost:3000`.
+
+<Note>
+  Node.js must be installed on the machine serving the exported site. The first time you run `mint export`, an internet connection is required to download the build client.

+
+# Export with specific user group content
+mint export --groups admin
