Hi all, I have a project - a desktop app almost ready for packaging, in its final testing stage. The project has a number of methods, properties, and event handling code. What started as a simple small app now has many lines of code, while I know where to look for things in months to come, I may lose track. Is there an inbuilt function in the Xojo IDE to export the project structure and code in a format that serves as documentation for future reference, especially with app support in mind? Thanks
Sounds like a job for AI

Sure, every project documentation needs slop 
But seriously AI can help but please as the person responsible for the project, take a deep dive into editing the AI generated content.

I think good human author commenting of the code itself could serve as a guide to the AI in its creation of high-level documentation. Haven’t tried it myself but have recently had a very good experience using Claude to document a large non-software project - it created 17 pages of well-organized, well-formatted MS Word content. And of course you have to check everything.

Sure, I have had good experiences with AI
Just have seen to much slop , be it developers of software to daily bloggers-Vloggers
You hit the nail on the head on stating having to check everything
Sad thing is most do not

In the mean time, you can print to pdf the whole project.
To do that, load your project,
do not select any item in the Navigation pane (1)
print to pdf (Windows: choose a virtual pdf printer, macOS: choose, in the pdf popup, the Print to PDF option).
(1). Excepted if you want to have separate pdf. In that case select an entry at a time from the Navigation pane and print to pdf.
BTW: in the Settings, click in the “Includes images of layout”:

Thanks all and Emile, exactly what I needed is a dump of the project into a file so that I can fit that into AI to build good documentation. I’ll give it a go thank you very much appreciate everyone’s help.
