Selection of the elements, which are meant to be exported (only in the case of the export to a file). You can either export all elements or solely the selected ones:

Writes the whole current configuration in the selected file.
This is the standard option in Cubetto Toolset.
- Export selected elements
Creates a new configuration containing the selected elements and writes it in a file. Deleted elements from the current configuration are not transferred.

Please note however that at a later import information about the deleted elements can be missing when merging configurations.
Use this option only when configurations are not meant to be merged.
