2. In the context menu box, under export click either Dublin Core 1.1 XML or EAD 2002 XML. Note that this is for ISAD(G), Dublin Core and RAD view screens only. To export as MODS you will need to be in the MODS view screen. For information on switching archival description edit screen templates, see ...


3. The description will be exported to an xml format and displayed in you web browser window.


4. To save the xml export file, use your browser's save functionality. To exit the xml export file, click on your browser's back button.
