Here you can select which sections should be inlcuded in the PDF and miss what you dont need, to reduce export size.

When you press **Export**, the PDF download starts, and the screen will be closed when finished (export time depends on your instance speed and size, but usually takes about 5-6 seconds).

In **Jira Cloud**, the export progress can be followed step by step.
