2. Click on the tab that contains the file(s) you want to back up or export.
3. Select the file(s) that you want to export. Hold down the Shift key while selecting files to select a group of files, or the Control key to select multiple individual files. Once they are selected, click on Export at the bottom of the window.
4. Browse to the location where you want to save the files, and click Export to save them (Note: When selecting multiple files, the File name will appear as the pathway to the location where you are going to save the files.)
