### Quick path

* Go to **Export Data** at [`app.geopard.tech/#/export`](https://app.geopard.tech/#/export).
* Tick the layers you need – Zones, Scouting Pins, Boundaries, etc.
* Hit **Download Selected**.
* In the pop‑up pick the export type (see below) and press **Export**.

### Export types

| Option                                        | What you get                                                | When to use                                                                                                                                         |
| --------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Export Zones to John Deere Ops Center**     | ZIP with a shapefile of multipolygons                       | Direct upload to John Deere Ops Center as Rx Files                                                                                                  |
| **Download Shapefile (.shp) – multipolygons** | One feature per class, perfect for most GIS and controllers | Classic VRA workflow                                                                                                                                |
| **Download Shapefile (.shp) – polygons**      | Every polygon as its own feature                            | When you need raw geometry for editing. Some monitors have polygon limits, so multipolygons are usually better.                                     |
| **Download ISOXML**                           | ISOXML task file                                            | Active when the map has Spraying, Seeding, or Fertilizing rates with valid units. Prerequisite: when creating, specify units and type of operation. |
| **Only rates** (checkbox)                     | Same file but contains only the rate column                 | For Variable Rate Application, to minimize potential human error                                                                                    |

### Step‑by‑step

1. Open **Download Files** or navigate straight to `/export`.
2. Expand farms and fields, tick up to **100** layers.
3. A preview card appears for each layer so you can double‑check.
4. Click **Download Selected** → choose export type → **Export**.
5. GeoPard builds a ZIP. Each layer turns into its own shapefile set (`.shp`, `.shx`, `.dbf`, `.prj`, `.cpg`). No GeoJSON or CSV at this stage.
6. The archive downloads automatically to your browser’s default downloads folder.

### Good to know

* File names end with `_GP`, so you can trace them back to GeoPard.
* All attributes stay intact: zone ID, average value, area, stats, notes, photos, etc.

### Typical workflows

| Goal                                      | What to select                 | Result                                                 |
| ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| Build seeding prescriptions for spring    | Zones maps from several fields | ZIP with shapefiles ready for controller merge         |
| Share scouting results with an agronomist | All Scouting Pins of the farm  | Shapefile she can open in QGIS or re‑upload to GeoPard |
| Create a clean GIS base                   | Field Boundaries + key Zones   | Full farm package for any GIS                          |
