Exporting Onshape projects as Solidworks Native file types

Our company is looking to trial Onshape for 12 months.
Its an expensive trial and at the end if we decide not to proceed are projects are locked up inside of Onshape.
I understand you can export .step and also "native" solidworks files but is there any documentation on what the results look like or that process is really?
It is not a concern of mine but largely of my colelagues and other stakeholders in the business.
Any info and resources that can be shared/linked appreciated.

SolidWorks export option means that you get the exported file in .SLDPRT file format, and it doesn't mean it will also export the feature tree.
You can export all your project files in any format you like, and then you can trigger "Recognizing Imported Body Features" in SolidWorks. Which automatically creates the SolidWorks features for the model.
If you have any questions let me know.
