# Export Submenu

The menu items in the export submenu allow you to export the collected scan data in several different ways. You can customize the kind of data (columns) that will be exported as well as other export options using the options dialog of TreeSize. You can also choose whether only those folders currently visible (expanded) in the Directory Tree or all folders will be exported. Please use the Expand button on the Home or Scan tab (or in the context menu of the Directory Tree) to expand and collapse or expand folders to a certain level.

### Plain text

Export the Directory Tree to a tab-separated text file. To configure the behavior for text exports, go to Options -> Text.

### CSV file

Export the Directory Tree to a CSV file (comma separated values). To configure the behavior for CSV exports, go to Options -> CSV.

### Excel file

Export the Directory Tree to a Microsoft Excel file. Supported formats are the conventional .XLSX file format (introduced with Excel 2007) as well as the former used .XLS (Excel 97-2003). Paths are exported as clickable hyperlinks. This allows you to quickly jump to the appropriate path in the Windows Explorer. To configure the behavior for Excel exports and the charts that should be included, go to Options -> Excel.

### HTML file

Enables you to save a report as an HTML file which can be viewed with any HTML browser later. HTML files are easier to read than text files and don't require a special application like MS Excel. The HTML file will be UTF8-encoded and thus includes Unicode characters. To configure the behavior for HTML exports and the charts that should be included, go to Options -> HTML. There you can also define a custom CSS stylesheet that will be used for the HTML export.

### PDF file

Enables you to save a report as an PDF file which can be viewed with any PDF Viewer later. PDF files are easier to read than text files and only require a free PDF viewer, which is included in Windows 8 and later. To configure the behavior for PDF exports and the charts that should be included, go to Options -> PDF.

### Copy to clipboard

Copy the Directory Tree to clipboard in text format.

### Copy list of files

Copy a list of all files in the current folder (and its sub-folders) to the clipboard. You can paste this list to your favorite spreadsheet or word processor. The settings for the text export in the options dialog determine which columns will be included in the list.

### Set export title

Allows you to set a title, which will be included with the header of an export or print. The default title includes the path of the scanned folder and the volume name of the drive the folder resides in. The use of environment variables is allowed.
