# Export batches

> Send completed batches from Scanning Station to ABBYY Vantage for processing.

Once scanning and separation are done, send the batches to ABBYY Vantage for processing. Scanning Station runs an [integrity check](/vantage/documentation/scanning-station/operator/check-integrity) first — a batch can't be sent until it passes.

## Set up export options

1. Choose **File > Sending Options…** to open the **Send to ABBYY Vantage** dialog box.
2. Enter the address of your ABBYY Vantage server in **Server**, or pick one from the drop-down.
3. In the **Skill** section, select the skill that should process the documents.

<Note>
  Only **Process** skills can be used to process images exported from Scanning Station.
</Note>

You can also set export options per [batch type](/vantage/documentation/scanning-station/interface/batch-type-properties-dbox), so different batch types can export to different servers or skills by default.

## Export a batch

* **Use the last-used options:** click **Send to Vantage** on the [main window toolbar](/vantage/documentation/scanning-station/interface/main-window-toolbars).
* **Pick different options this time:** click the arrow next to **Send to Vantage**, choose the options, then click **OK**. You can also use **File > Send Batch**.

To cancel an in-progress export, right-click the batch and choose **Cancel Export**.

## After export

Each batch is processed in Vantage as a single transaction, regardless of how many documents it contains. If you want a document processed as its own transaction, put its pages in a separate batch. Page order is preserved when batches are exported.

Once export finishes, view the results in Vantage — and correct any extracted values if needed. See [Manual Review](/vantage/documentation/runtime/manual-review/manual-review).

### Optional settings

* **Delete batches automatically after a successful export** — on **Tools > Options…**, turn on **Delete batch automatically after sending** on the [General](/vantage/documentation/scanning-station/interface/general-tab-options) tab.
* **Configure background export** — on the [Sending Tasks](/vantage/documentation/scanning-station/interface/sending-tasks-options) tab of the **Options** dialog box.
