Step 1:

Step 2: Select Categories

Choose the categories you want to export. There are a few options you can choose from:

Category Keyword: If you’d like to only export categories that contain a specific keyword, enter the keyword here, otherwise leave it blank.
Select Categories: If you’d like to only export select categories, rather than all, use the drop-down to select which categories to export. Leave blank to export all.
Select Parent Categories: If you’d like to export select parent categories, rather than all, use the drop-down to select which parent categories to export. Leave blank to export all.
Category Visibility: You can choose whether to export All Categories, only those that are Visible, or only those categories which are Hidden.

If you choose none of the options above, all categories will be exported.

Step 3: Export Options

If you’d like to enter a custom name for your download file, you may enter it in the Filename box or leave as is.
Choose the File Format for your download. Available options are .csv and Microsoft Excel.
Now select which fields you would like to include as part of the export. By default, all options are selected. Simply unselect the ones you do not want to include, then click Next.

Step 4: Email Delivery

By default, Your Store Tools will email you when your export is complete. If you choose to receive this notification, verify your email address is correct before clicking Submit.

If you do not want to receive an email notification, simply click the No box followed by Submit.

Step 5: Notification

Once your file is ready for download, you will receive a notification either by email or in the Your Store Tools Notification Center, which is the “bell” in the upper right corner.
