Export
Saving an estimate out of Xactimate as an ESX file so it can be shared or moved between systems.
On a real claim
Export is saving an estimate out of Xactimate as an ESX file so it can be shared or moved between systems. On a claim the exported file is what the other side imports to review or re-price your work. What goes wrong: an incomplete or wrongly scoped export drops line items and the reviewer sees a smaller estimate than the one you built. Check that the export carries every line, the right price list, and the notes before you send it.
