# Manually select

With this operation you can manually select a BarTender document from your local file system.

The file is stored in the machine step and is not in any way synchronized with the file in your local file system. Once the file has been selected you can export the file by clicking on *Export file...*.

Note that if you select another operation in the machine step the document will be lost and has to be selected from the file system again.

The same input and outputs as 'Print' applies, see [Print](https://home.novacuraflow.com/Help/latest/?help_root_connectors_printing_bartender_print) for more information.
