The **[!UICONTROL Export incremental files]** option is selected by default. This triggers an export of one or multiple files representing a full snapshot of the dataset. Subsequent files are incremental additions to the dataset since the previous export. You can also select **[!UICONTROL Export full files]**.

### Best practices for managing multiple datasets {#best-practices-multiple-datasets}
233+
234+
When exporting multiple datasets, consider the following best practices:
235+
236+
* **Same schedule requirements**: Group datasets that need the same export schedule (frequency, type) into a single dataflow for easier management.
237+
* **Different schedule requirements**: Create separate dataflows for datasets that require different export schedules or export types (incremental vs. full). This ensures each dataset exports according to its specific needs.
238+
* **Review before modifying**: Before changing the schedule on an existing dataflow, review which datasets are already being exported through that dataflow to avoid unintended changes to their export behavior.
239+
* **Document your setup**: Keep track of which datasets are in which dataflows, especially when managing multiple export schedules across different destinations.

**Can I set different export schedules for different datasets in the same dataflow?**
379+
380+
+++Answer
381+
No, all datasets within a single dataflow share the same export schedule. If you need different export schedules for different datasets, you must create separate dataflows (destination connections) for each schedule type. For example, if you want Dataset A to export incrementally every day and Dataset B to export as a one-time full export, you need to create two separate dataflows.
