# Sample 1. Step 21: Exporting the FlexiLayout

> Export the finished Sample 1 FlexiLayout from FlexiLayout Studio to an AFL file so it can be loaded into an ABBYY FlexiCapture Document Definition.

Before you can use your FlexiLayout in ABBYY FlexiCapture, you must export it into AFL format:

1. Select the Export... command in the **File** menu.
2. In the Export FlexiLayout dialog box, enter a name for the file and select the folder in which to save the file.

The resulting \*.afl file can then be used in ABBYY FlexiCapture.
