# Printing and Exporting

The **print function** for a document is available next to each item where the

icon is displayed. As an **alternative to direct printing**, all templates within the platform can be **exported** in three different formats:

-   PDF
-   HTML5
-   Microsoft Word

### Template selection

[Section titled “Template selection”](#template-selection)

When opening the print menu, the system displays a dropdown with the **recently used templates** (up to 5). If this is the first time printing for that context, the field will be empty.

To search for a different template, click the **Search** button. An advanced selection window will open with three selectable filters via the toolbar buttons:

-   **Current project** (active by default) — shows templates associated with the current project.
-   **Partner** — shows templates provided by the partner, with the option to filter by country.
-   **4HSE** — shows templates provided by 4HSE, with the option to filter by country.

When selecting the **Partner** or **4HSE** source, a country filter becomes available on the toolbar to narrow down the results. A text search field is also available to quickly find the desired template.

Once a template is selected from the window, it will be automatically added to the recent templates list for quicker access in future sessions.

### Template editing

[Section titled “Template editing”](#template-editing)

You can edit the selected template, including its HTML code, by clicking the **Edit** button

. The HTML editing window will open, with a live preview on the left.

Once you’ve made your changes, you can save your custom version using the

icon and selecting the desired location within the file system of the relevant “Archive” section. Then click **Save**

again to confirm.

The modified file will be automatically used for the first export of the document and will then remain available in the recent templates list.

After selecting a template, click **Next** to preview it.

By clicking the **print** icon

in the upper-left corner, you can use your browser’s print function to **save a .pdf** or **send the document** to a local printer.

Alternatively, by clicking the **Next** button, you’ll proceed to the _Export_ section, where you can choose the file format and destination.

![print-certifications-img4](/_astro/print-certifications-4.BBeOK5zm_ZEmtNU.webp)

When selecting the **Save in documents** option, you’ll be prompted to choose the destination path for the file within the relevant Archive section of the software. If the destination folder does not exist yet, you can create a new one directly from the toolbar by clicking the **New Folder** button. In the following step, you’ll be able to define the **document name**, add a **description**, and **select the people** (or organizational roles) to whom you wish to **send a notification** about the document’s creation.

Clicking **Confirm** will start the export process. You can track its progress in the completion screen that follows.
