A board's JSON export is a file for making a new board, so it leaves out what people did on the board: votes, stamps, hands up and comments. After a planning session that's the part worth keeping, and the file is also the only way to hand a board to another tool or an AI agent today. So the export dialog gets an option, Include votes, stamps and comments, which is off by default. With it on, the file gains an
activityblock for reading, which importing ignores.What the
activityblock holdsEverything in it is keyed by shape id, and covers only shapes that are in the file.
votes: each dot vote's settings, whether it's closed, how many people voted, and results with each shape's dots, 👍 counted as votes, total and rank. A hidden vote never names who voted, and has no results until it closes, as on the board.decisions: who agreed and who disagreed with each proposed decision.stampsandvolunteers: who stamped or put their hand up, on each shape, in order.comments: threads still showing, with their messages, authors, what they're pinned to and whether they're resolved. A thread pinned to a shape the file leaves out (a card the exporter can't read, a face-down sticky) stays out too.items: what the cards (and decisions' and action items' links) show, as the exporter sees them: title, state, labels, assignees, counts, milestone, and for discussions their category, upvotes and whether they're answered.How it fits with import and backups
activitydoesn't count towards the 4 MB import limit.Also in this branch
