Export works differently for App Studio issues than it does for other formats. Rather than creating a single local exported issue file on your hard disk, you upload the exported articles that make up an issue to the App Studio Publishing Portal. Once an article has been uploaded to the server, you can preview it on the App Studio Publishing Portal and in your copy of App Studio Issue Previewer. Once the content is final, you can serve it to your customers directly from the App Studio Publishing Portal.

To export the active layout as an article in an App Studio issue:

1. Display the App Studio Publishing palette ( Window menu).

• To automatically detect the network's proxy server, check Auto Detect Proxy Settings For This Network . If you uncheck this box, you must enter the proxy server's host address and port number manually.
• Enter the user name and password for the proxy server.
• Click OK .
