If you export the repository, all subfolders of the repository are exported.

  1. Right-click the collection and select Export...
    The Browse for Folder dialog appears.
  2. Browse to the destination directory for the collection.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • If you already have a directory in place for exported files, go to Step 5.

    1. Click the Make New Folder button.
      A space for a new folder opens up.
