# Trigno Discover: Advanced Export

## **Overview**

This guide walks you through how to review, manage, and export trial data within Trigno Discover 2.0. You will learn how to access recorded trials, view metadata, select multiple files, and use advanced export options to customize output formats and data segments. Additional instructions cover exporting data to different formats (either as CSV, C3D, .HPF, or .DELSYS), selecting Data Channels, syncing sampling rates, and backing up entire databases. These tools help streamline data handling and support collaboration between users and systems. For a visual walkthrough, please refer to the Trigno Discover video tutorials on Advanced Export.
