# Export store

> Export all catalog chunk text from the store (no vectors).

## Overview

Returns **every stored item** as chunk **text** only. Use this to mirror the edge catalog on another machine (for example the retail kiosk Admin **Sync from UNO Q** flow).

* No request body or query parameters.
* No item **ids** or **vectors** in the response — only `items[].text`.
* Each `text` value includes the kiosk `[meta]` header (`doc_id`, `category`, `title`, `tags`, `chunk`) plus the chunk body.

<Note>
  Requires a Moorcheh Edge build that includes `GET /export` (v0.2.1+). Rebuild or pull the latest Docker image after upgrading.
</Note>
