Export > Export with Includes as a File
---------------------------------------

This feature from the :ref:`ExportTab` can be used to download the current asset collection
and its included asset collections or graphs into a single file in one of these formats:

* **TriG** is a W3C standard similar to Turtle, but for exchanging whole data sets (collections
   of graphs) instead of individual graphs.

* **Zip** is a binary file format to share one or more files as compressed archives.
   In TopBraid, these zip files will contain individual Turtle files.

The files created here can later be re-imported into other TopBraid instances using the 
**Create Multiple Asset Collections** from the dialog that is opened from the :ref:`NewButton`.

.. danger::
   The TriG format will mix up all namespace prefix declarations from all graphs.
   This means that on re-import, all asset collections and files will get the same prefix declarations.
   For this reason we recommend using the zip format instead.
