Common workflows

1. Use the Group post permalink

   Paste the supported Facebook Group permalink so the job stays attached to one specific Group post.

2. Select the conversation depth

   Keep the default top-level comment export or enable direct replies when the immediate thread context is needed.

3. Work from stable thread columns

   Download CSV or XLSX and relate replies to parents with parent_comment_id, thread_root_comment_id, and depth.
