Data Transfer Guide
Grammarly doesn't provide direct data export functionality, so migration requires manual transfer. First, access all documents in your Grammarly Editor and download them individually as .txt or .docx files. For vocabulary preferences or custom style guides, take screenshots or create documentation. QuillBot doesn't have an import feature for documents, so you'll need to copy-paste important texts into QuillBot's tools as needed. For plagiarism reports, download PDFs from Grammarly and recreate checks in QuillBot's plagiarism detector if required. The key is to identify which historical documents actually need to be processed through QuillBot versus simply being archived.
