To export objects as slices:

1. On the Layers panel, select a layer, group or object and click Create Slice.
2. Do one of the following:
   • On the Export Options panel, adjust export settings as appropriate.
   • Jump to the Slices panel, expand the slice entry and alter the export format or choose an Export preset from the pop-up menu (PNG, JPEG, and Apple icon design presets only).
3. (Optional) On the Slices panel, click the + icon under the export format entry to add an additional graphic export format.
4. (Optional) On the Slices panel, click the indented + icon under the export size entries to add increasing levels of resolution (2x, 3x, etc.) to the export format.
5. Do one of the following, to control what gets exported:
   • Select Click to export all formats for this item.
   • Select Click to export this format. This exports all sizes specified for the selected slice.
   • Select Click to export this size. This exports a specific export format for a slice at a specific size.
   • Click Export Slices (n) to export all formats and sizes for all checked slices in the Slices panel.
6. Navigate to and select the storage folder for the exported image(s) and then click Export.
7. (Optional) On the Slices panel, select Continuous if you want to automatically re-export export areas if the document is subsequently changed. This option is only available if Export Slices (n) was selected above.

3. Repeat step two onward from the procedure above, as required.

The settings will be used when your next slice is created.
