## Step 2: Share the Session

* Once you have selected the session(s), tap the **Share** icon at the top right of the screen. This will prepare a **.zip** file containing the selected session files.
* The app will then open the system default sharing modal, where you can choose an available option to export the file, such as **email**, **WhatsApp**, **Messenger**, etc.

## Exported File Format

The exported sessions are in **.csv** format, allowing for easy handling in spreadsheet applications. The format of the exported **.csv** file is as follows:

```
