# Extract Original Data / Content Items

This topic describes how to extract original data or items in a DocuWorks container to a specified location.
Procedure
1.
Select [Extract Original Data / Content Items] from the [Document] pop-up menu or [Extract Original Data / Content Items] of the standard toolbar.
The [Extract Original Data / Content Items] dialog box appears.
2.
Select the original data or the content item to be extracted and click [Extract].
The [Save Original Data] dialog box appears.
Note
If you are downloading a file partially using byte serving function and original data or the content item is not yet downloaded, downloading starts. When downloading finishes, the [Save Original Data] dialog box will appear.
3.
Specify a file name and path and click [Save].
The original data or the content item is stored as an application file.
Note
When you use a long file name, the length of the file path may exceed the limit depending on the location of the export destination or working folder, and this causes an error or the file name to be truncated.
