Note: If your Resources module has a lot of records, you may need to wait for the file to be prepared.

A dialogue box will appear asking where you want to save the file, which will be named resources_export_today's_date.csv. Choose a folder and click Save.

You can then open the file on your computer using Excel, OpenOffice, Google Sheets, or another spreadsheet program.
