Tip

If you want to edit the contents or details of a package and export it again, select the package and select Edit Details. If you need to change the content, set the Modify Content switch to ON in the Choose Content page. Otherwise, leave this switch off.
On the Choose Content page, select the content that you want to include in your export.
The left-hand pane shows the list of all Object Types. You can use the list to select or deselect all of these object types.

The right-hand pane lets you navigate your folder structure and select objects or folders. When you navigate the folder structure, you can select content from the Public and System folders. Content from Team folders can be found within the System folder. You can also select content from workspaces by selecting Workspace.
When selecting the content you want to export, remember the following points:
- Workspace content can only be exported to and copied to new tenants with the exact same folder structure.
- If you select a translated story, the multilingual content is included in your export. For details, see Learn About the Translation Process.
- If an object you've selected depends on other content, the dependencies are automatically selected. For example, if you select a model, its dimensions will also be selected. To exclude selecting object dependencies, choose Ctrl or Command while selecting an object. If the object is selected with its dependencies, the Dependencies column shows a ✓ checkmark. If there is none, the column is empty.
- In the New Export workflow, the message strip about the dependency feature appears until you manually close it. When you select a object it selects its dependencies as well, but while unselecting that object it only unselects the object itself and not its dependencies.
Tip
- You can use the Search box to search for specific objects.
- You can show or hide the columns on the right side by selecting  (Show columns). By default, certain columns are selected to display, for example, Name, Description and Type. Select Restore Defaults to display the default columns. Selecting and deselecting the columns as per your needs allows you to define the visibility of the object properties.
Note
- When you edit a package, the Changed On details of the objects within the package reflects the updated date and time as it pulls the properties from the file repository. However, the object content remains same as it was during the last export/update time of the package.
  
  To update the whole package, you must modify the content at the package level. To do that, go to Package Edit Details.
- You can search the objects through the values of Name, Description, Type, Owner, Changed By columns. Also, sort the objects at column level.
- By default, Data column is not pre-selected. You can manually select the data checkbox to include the data of any object as per your need.
- Selecting the Data checkbox in export listing page adds the data of the parent as well as dependencies.
  
  To select or unselect specific object data, click Selected Objects option on the left pane and select Data checkbox for the required dependent objects.
- It is recommended to select up to 2000 objects when you're creating an export.
When you've chosen your content, select Next.
In the Set Package Properties page, type a Name, Description, and Details for the package.If your content has terms and conditions, add them in the Details.
To export the package to a subfolder within My Content, type the folder path in the Location field, or select Browse next to it. You can create a new folder by selecting Browse and choosing  (Create New Folder).
