My export from March had tags, my guess is this docs page just got missed when they updated the export months ago

Doesn't have to be a conspiracy. They saw a comment about a mistake in the article and made a clumsy edit in an attempt to remedy the mistake.

I didn't mean that there is a conspiracy, just that OP wasn't lying and the doc was indeed saying it won't save tags.
(Now I read it, it does sound like so. My bad.)

No worries! Perhaps i shouldn't have assumed that so much investigation implied a conspiracy theory.
Yep sorry, I saw this post, brought it up internally because I remember hearing they updated the export functionality in preparation of the shutdown, and then they fixed it while I was out. So here's your notification that the docs were updated :)
Edit: and I see now other folks noticed and shared it as well.
You can tell it's a rushed edit as "Your export file will include links (URLs) of your saved items. The export does not extract the text of saved links. Additionally, the export does contain tags or highlights." reads very unnatural.
Via Wayback Machine, it can be easily verified that the old versions of it, both the one edited very recently or the old ones in 2024, said "does not contain tags or highlights".
