You can use the filter in one of the following ways.
Filter by Export Status
Filter the images by selecting Library > Attribute; in the library filter panel, you can now select the exported images icon or the non-exported images icon to filter the catalog based on the exported file status. An export status icon on the filmstrip also denotes the selected filter option.
Filter by using Metadata options
Select Library > Metadata and select Exported Files from the drop-down menu in any section. The section will now allow you to filter images based on
- Exported Files
- Not Exported Files
Tip:
You can check the last exported date in the image's metadata panel. To enable this option, select the image and then select Customise in the Metadata section of the image. In the pop-up, select the Last Exported Date option under Basic Info.
