Choose the directory that contains the filters that you want to export.
Enter the filter filename (the default filename is TM-fltrs) with a table dump file (.d) extension, then choose the Save button.

You can customize your filters, then import the filters into multiple projects. The filter file you import must be a text file with the source and target phrases separated by commas or spaces.

If you import new filters, you replace the old filters. Choose OK to verify the import.
