See the chapter Map layout in map mode in the thbook. > OK, I understand the philosophy: as north and scalebar are graphical elements belonging to the final maps, they should not belong to the scraps but should be put in place at the last moment. However, none of the legend elements (including text but also the scalebar and the northarrow, and probably the grid) are exported in the svg file. I included the pdf and the correspond svg to show that. Exporting them to svg would be the behavior that I would expect, unless there is a special difficulty there.
