## Export regions of interest via Edit & download

1. Ensure your sensors are connected to Capture.U Desktop (see [Connect sensors to Capture.U Desktop](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IMU/pages/73121980)), and that you've selected the relevant trial and clicked **Edit & download** (see [Download a trial from the sensors](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IMU/pages/73134174)).
2. On the **Preview** tab, go to the **Export** settings.
3. > Macro (anchor)

In the **Export** settings, choose either **Full trial** or **By regions**, or both.
  Select the relevant options to export the required output from your trial:
  - **Full Trial **(exports all the trial data, including any regions of interest, although if the trial is cropped, only data from the non-cropped region is exported)
    - **Raw data** Exports the full trial raw data (may be a cropped trial)
    - **Aligned data** Exports the full trial raw data (may be a cropped trial) aligned to the specified output rate (Hz)
    - **X1D** Exports the full trial raw aligned data (may be a cropped trial) at the specified output rate (Hz). Note that no region of interest information will be displayed in Vicon Nexus.
    - **_notes.txt** Provides trial information (data capture timestamp, exported cropped trial information, timestamps for each region of interest)
  - **By Regions **(exports the trial data from any regions of interest only)
    - **Raw data** Exports the raw data from regions of interest only
    - **Aligned data** Exports the aligned raw data from regions of interest only
    - **_notes.txt** Provides trial information (data capture timestamp, exported cropped trial information, timestamps for each region of interest)
4. When you have finished specifying the required export and output settings, click **Download**.

## Export regions of interest via one-click Download

If you're using the **Download** option to export regions of interest (see [Download with a single click](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IMU/pages/73146148)), before you click **Download**, make sure the required options are selected in the **Settings**.
