2️⃣ Navigate to the "Export Collection" menu: In the top menu bar, you'll find the "Collection" item. Click on it, and a dropdown menu will appear. From there, select "Export Collection."

3️⃣ Configure the export options: A modal window will pop up, giving you the ability to configure various export options. You can choose the desired file path, file format (JSON), and even apply filters to extract specific data.

4️⃣ Export and save the JSON file: Once you've configured your preferences, click the "Export" button. Choose a suitable location on your computer and give the file a meaningful name. Hit "Save," and you're done! 🎉

🔧 Troubleshooting common issues: If you encounter any issues during the export process, here are a few helpful tips:

• Double-check your connection: Ensure that you're properly connected to your MongoDB instance through Robo 3T.

• Check your MongoDB version: Make sure you're using a compatible version of MongoDB with Robo 3T. You might need to update if necessary.
