This page / section pertains to **BrightAuthor Classic**, our legacy app. **BrightSign Author **is our latest app for managing content and players.

Development of BrightAuthor Classic has largely ceased and the app will eventually be deprecated and replaced with BrightSign Author.
:::

To export a presentation in BrightAuthor Classic:

1. Create a new folder on your computer.
2. Open your presentation.
3. Click the **Edit** tab.
4. Select **File > Export \[your presentation name]**.
5. Browse to a newly created folder on your computer.
6. Press **OK** to export the project.

If you want to share your presentation with someone, you can zip a folder with the presentation files and send it. That user can open unzip the contents, open the presentation file (*.bpf*), see how a presentation is built, and publish it to an appropriate BrightSign player.

:::hint{type="info"}
You can't copy the exported project to an SD card for playback on a player. If you want to publish a presentation to a player, you need to open the presentation and use the **Publish** tab.
