Export several comparisons together

Available from version 26.10.0 Use Export all open tabs to save, copy or email results from several comparisons in one operation. You can choose which comparisons and output files to include, and optionally package them in a zipped folder. This feature is available in Draftable Legal and Draftable Business, with outputs appropriate to your comparisons and licence. Before you start, open the comparison results you want to export in the same Draftable window.
The export covers only the tabs in the window where you start it. Tabs in other windows, including windows created by dragging out a tab, are neither included nor listed under Not included. Move those tabs into the same window first, or export from each window separately. See Working with tabs and windows.

Review exclusions and export

Check Not included for any tabs that cannot be exported, then click Export. Follow the save or email prompts for your selected action. Cancel closes the dialog without exporting.The Export button is enabled only when you have selected at least one comparison and at least one output for its group.

​
Understand the Not included list

The dialog lists tabs from the current window that cannot take part in the export, with one of these reasons: A single departures-table comparison can be exported; a combined departures table is a separate view and is not included.

You can open the dialog even when none of the current window’s tabs can be exported, so you can see the reasons. Comparisons you manually untick remain in their comparison-type group rather than moving to Not included.
