# Use Knowledge Discovery Admin to Export Indexed Documents

You can export IDX or XML documents from one or more Content component databases. You can also export the entire data index.

To export indexed documents

1. In the Control menu, click Console.
2. Click the Export tab.
3. In the Export Location box, type the path to the directory in which to store the exported documents.
4. In the Export Index Action box, select the type of files you want to export–either IDX or XML. This selects either the `DREEXPORTIDX` or `DREEXPORTXML` action, which is displayed and automatically updated as you fill in the form.

5. Click Select Databases, then select the check boxes next to all the databases you want to export documents from. If you do not select any databases, Content exports documents from all databases.

6. Complete the following fields to specify the export task in detail, including which documents to export.

   Index Action Priority | Change or set the priority of the exporting job.
   Compress | Select whether to compress the exported files.
   Delete Documents | Select whether to delete the documents from Content after exporting them. (Documents are deleted only if the export is successful.)
   Add Host Details | Select whether to add host details to the exported file name.
   Batch Size | Type the number of document sections to export to one file. Click X to delete the value.
   Max Date | Select the latest creation date and time that a document can have to be exported. Click Now in the calendar to automatically select the current date and time. Click X to delete the value.
   Min Date | Select the earliest creation date and time that a document can have to be exported. Click Now in the calendar to automatically select the current date and time. Click X to delete the value.
   Max ID | Type the maximum document ID number (inclusive) to export. Click X to delete the value.
   Min ID | Type the minimum document ID number (inclusive) to export. Click X to delete the value.
   Match ID | If you do not want to export all documents, type the IDs of documents to export. Separate multiple IDs with spaces or plus symbols. There must be no space before or after a plus symbol. You can also specify a range of IDs, using a hyphen. Click X to delete all values.
   Match Reference | If you do not want to export all IDX documents, type the references of the documents to export. If the references contain plus symbols (+) or spaces, percent-encode each reference, then separate multiple references with plus symbols (there must be no space before or after a plus symbol) and percent-encode the whole string again (using Internet Explorer or the ACI client). Click X to delete all values.
   State Match ID | Type the state token of a list of documents to export. If you specify the token name only, all documents listed in the token are exported. If you add a (zero-based) index range, or individual numbers separated by plus symbols (+), in square brackets after the token name, only that range or set of documents are exported. Click X to delete all values.

7. Click Export to export the documents to the specified location.
