Hi @PeterAtthem

To answer your question, it is not possible to render React components in the export view, instead, your app will provide export content in Atlassian Document Format (ADF).

The [tutorial](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/change-the-confluence-frontend-with-the-ui-kit/#specify-the-export-view) linked above is the correct tutorial for using the `adfExport` feature. This is the most up to date tutorial for exporting macro content.

@AaronCollier You mentioned it was outdated - are there any particular issues you found with it, asides from what’s in the [other thread](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/how-to-invoke-data-for-adfexport-in-confluence-forge-ui-kit/85890) you linked, that we’ve already raised bugs for?
