# **Export Client**

With the Labstep Export Client, you can now schedule regular backups/exports of your data from Labstep to your devices. It includes Experiments and Protocols.

_\*Edit: ONLY_ **_completed_** _Experiments will be exported.\*_

# **Referencing (Improvements)**

You can now reference any Protocols, Devices, and Inventory fields in your Workspace using the **_@_** command, whether in the Protocol you’re currently editing or in the Workspace.

‘_In this experiment’_ references an existing element, whereas ‘_In this workspace_’ adds a new element to the Experiment and then references it.
