6. **Include Files** — If selected, the generated document is packaged in a .zip file with all associated documents and attachments in the artifact.
7. **Rich Text Formatting** — If selected, any rich text formatting in Blueprint is preserved in the generated document.
8. **Font Size Scale** — Edit the percentage you want to scale font size to within rich text fields in the generated document.

4. **Include Open Discussions** — If selected, open discussions are included in the generated document.
5. **Include Closed Discussions** — If selected, closed discussions are included in the generated document.
