# Export documents > The **Export files** dialog box enables you to easily export data for training ML models. The **Export files** dialog box enables you to easily export data for training ML models. Select the **Export** button ![Export icon](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/document-understanding/document-understanding-export-icon-dm_export-4367a881-29ae74eb.webp) from the management bar. The dialog box contains three tabs: * [Export now](https://docs.uipath.com/document-understanding/automation-suite/2023.10/classic-user-guide/document-manager-export-documents#export-now) * [Logs](https://docs.uipath.com/document-understanding/automation-suite/2023.10/classic-user-guide/document-manager-export-documents#logs) ## Export now The **Export now** tab allows you to: * **Download to Excel** - Download the data locally in an Excel format. * **Download** - Download the data locally. * **Export to AI Center** - Export the data to AI Center. The exported folders can be found in AI Center under the **export** folder (**Datasets** > **dataset_name** > **export**). :::note The **Download to Excel** function cannot be used if **Schema** or **Backwards-compatible export** options are selected. ::: If no schema is defined, all export options are disabled. If a schema is defined, it is mandatory to enter a name for your export, otherwise, the **Download** and **Export** buttons are disabled. A valid name can have up to 24 characters and should not contain special characters. You can export or download a schema even if it includes multivalued fields. You can choose to export one of the following options: * **Current search results** - the labeled documents filtered by a predefined keyword/named batch or by a text query. If no filter is applied, all labeled documents in the current view are exported. * **All labelled** - all documents with at least one labeled field, of any kind; more precisely, the documents from the **labelled** filter. * **Schema** - a zip file containing the fields and their configurations which can be imported into a different Document Manager session. * **All** - exports all documents, no matter if labels are applied or not. The **Backwards-compatible export** checkbox enables you to apply legacy export behavior, which is to export each page as a separate document. Try this if the model trained using default export is below expectations. Leave this unchecked to export the documents in their original multi-page form. ### Export validation To export a dataset, all fields need to be labeled in at least 10 different pages. Otherwise, the export fails with the following messages: ![Example of an export error](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/document-understanding/document-understanding-example-of-an-export-error-116531-b66e07cd-4652516f.webp) ![Example of an export error](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/document-understanding/document-understanding-example-of-an-export-error-117443-36f125af-21c929cd.webp) For Classification fields, there is an additional requirement: each option needs to be labeled in at least one document. Otherwise, the export fails with the following message: ![Example of an export error](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/document-understanding/document-understanding-example-of-an-export-error-115359-af777e1e-89875ed0.webp) When exporting only Evaluation set data, all validations are disabled. ### Dataset format A **folder** containing the exported dataset coming from Document Manager. This includes: * `schema.json`: a file containing the fields to be extracted and their types * `split.csv`: a file containing the split per each document that will be used either for **TRAIN** or **VALIDATE** during the Training Pipeline * images: a folder containing images of all the labeled pages * latest: a folder containing `.json` files with the labeled data from each page ![Screenshot of the Datasets interface.](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/document-understanding/document-understanding-screenshot-of-the-datasets-interface-115995-9f340e64-4622e064.webp) ## Logs The **Logs** tab displays the latest log on export. In case of a successful export, the log shows the number of processed documents and the export duration. ![Example of a log message](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/document-understanding/document-understanding-example-of-a-log-message-382240-114c6dd4-ae8ea873.webp) In case of a successful schema export, the log shows the export duration. ![Example of a log message](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/document-understanding/document-understanding-example-of-a-log-message-382244-93f997f3-28df558c.webp) During the file export, you can check the status of the export. This is particularly useful for large exports. ![Example of a log message](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/document-understanding/document-understanding-example-of-a-log-message-382228-08df2df0-3d4ddf69.webp) Error messages are also displayed in Logs, for instance: ![Example of a log message](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/document-understanding/document-understanding-example-of-a-log-message-382232-55e18c81-7ce56947.webp) In case of a successful auto-retraining, the import logs from the **fine-tune** folder of the dataset are displayed as well: ![Example of a log message](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/document-understanding/document-understanding-example-of-a-log-message-382236-00049dc5-af4b5c0e.webp)
