• Save As (Export to a New Folder):
  • Open the save menu by clicking the drop‑down arrow on the **Save** button.
  • Select **"Save As..."**.
  • Choose a destination folder where the updated files will be saved.

Step 5: (Optional) Mark Files for Deletion

• Click the deletion marker (e.g., the **X** or similar icon) next to any file you wish to remove.
• Confirm deletion when prompted.
• The marked files will be removed from the list after the changes are saved.

Additional Options
