# How can I batch export my Libraries / Projects from PostLab?

PostLab Exporter is a helper app that lets you batch export any/all Documents (`.fcpbundle`’s and `.prproj`’s) within a locally cached Production (a `.postlab` bundle).

{% embed url="<https://downloads.hedge.video/postlab/Postlab_Exporter.zip>" %}

1\. In PostLab, open a `Production`, then [`Download` each `Document`](https://docs.hedge.video/postlab/documents#inside-a-document) you wish to export.

2\. Once you download the desired `Documents`, select any one of those downloaded `Documents`, keeping it selected.

3\. Go to `Preferences > General > DEFAULT PRODUCTION LOCATION`. Take note of the folder specified in `Current Folder`.

4\. In Finder, [download PostLab Exporter](https://downloads.hedge.video/postlab/Postlab_Exporter.zip) then unzip it to your `DEFAULT PRODUCTION LOCATION` alongside your `.postlab` bundles.

5\. In Finder, double-click PostLab Exporter to launch it. A Terminal window will appear, displaying its progress.

7\. Inside your `DEFAULT PRODUCTION LOCATION`, a new folder named `Postlab Export - {YYYY-MM-DD} {HH-MM-SS}` containing all your downloaded `Documents` is now available. Open this folder to verify all desired `Documents` were exported from PostLab.

8\. Once you confirm the `Postlab Export` folder contains all expected `Documents`, you can archive these to your own storage, then delete those from your `Productions` in PostLab.
