you can select which shelves to export,

Name your export
If exporting multiple shelves,
you can use the * to represent each shelf name
if you don't use the * for multiple shelves, then all shelves will be in a single export file
It is possible to switch data between fields as follows:
1. Move all the Games to one shelf (if not already on a seperate shelf)
This makes it it easier to work with a set of Games
2. Export the shelf
Use the XML format
3. Delete the shelf including the Games
Note images will be deleted, take a copy of any images you need to keep
you can re-download images for those that came from the web
