# Export a database
To begin the export process click on the **SharePoint** icon on the Seascape home page:
Next, select a **database** to be exported, the **export settings**, and the **staging folder**, and click **Next** to being your export:
A new window will appear showing the progress of your export.
Once the database is exported to the **staging folder**, click on the **Upload to SharePoint** button to open the **SharePoint Upload Utility** in a new window:
Here is a screenshot of the **SharePoint Uploader**:
You can now upload your archive either to a **SharePoint library** or a **SharePoint list**.

The PDF files generated during the export will be named using the document ID string by default. To have the files named using a different naming convention simply configure your PDF naming formula in the export settings. More info: [Export Settings](https://docs.swingsoftware.com/seascape-for-notes/seascape-settings/export-settings)
You can also have Seascape generate a custom folder structure during the export, which will then be replicated in your SharePoint library too. For more information please see our article on [Folder Formulas](https://docs.swingsoftware.com/seascape-for-notes/seascape-settings/folder-formulas).
