# Sample 1. Step 21: Export 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 the FlexiLayout in ABBYY FlexiCapture, export it to AFL format.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Export dialog box">
    Select **File → Export...**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the AFL file">
    In the **Export FlexiLayout** dialog box, enter a file name and select the folder to save it in.
  </Step>
</Steps>

You can then use the resulting `*.afl` file in ABBYY FlexiCapture.
