- Plain to Live: “Open as Live Script” from Current Folder Browser or document tab
- Live to Plain: “Save as…” and select “MATLAB Code (*.m)” Please also note that in MATLAB R2022a 'export' was introduced to go from MLX to M: https://mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/export.html
How do I go between plain scripts (.m) and live scripts (.mlx)?

Hi John, Hi Sarang,
It is perfectly possible to go between the two formats using the following internal functions (2016b, maybe even 2016a):
From mlx to m:
doc matlab.internal.richeditor.openAndConvert
From m to mlx:
doc matlab.internal.richeditor.openAndSave
I know I'm late on the topic, but I found out by pure luck after countless hours of research, and I hope it will help someone. Best regards.

Alternatively, use the command lines:
From mlx to m:
doc matlab.internal.richeditor.openAndConvert
From m to mlx:
doc matlab.internal.richeditor.openAndSave
