Selecting a DataSet and clicking Export To File will open a dialog in which you can save the DataSet as a *.4dataset file. DataSets saved this way can then be imported into other CM4D documents. Multiple DataSets may be exported at one time by holding the Ctrl or Shift key and selecting the DataSets you want to export. All selected DataSets will be contained within a single *.4dataset file.
Import From File on the main DataSet node will open a dialog where you can locate and import any *.4dataset file(s). Multiple DataSets may be imported at one time by holding the Ctrl or Shift key and selecting the DataSets you want to import.

Delete All DataSets will delete all of the DataSets that are in the DataSet tree.
Undelete DataSet will open a Undelete DataSets dialog, from which you can select which DataSet(s) or DataStack(s) you want to restore to the DataSet tree. The deleted DataSet(s) or DataStack(s) will only be stored during the current session of CM4D (or until the document is saved).
If an Undeleted Dataset has the same label as a DataSet in the tree, then a number will be appended to the DataSet label by default.
Delete DataSet will remove the selected DataSet from the CM4D document. Multiple DataSets may be deleted at one time by holding the Ctrl or Shift key and selecting the DataSets you want to remove. A dialog box will ask whether or not you want to delete the selection. Click OK, and the DataSets will be deleted.
To edit a DataSet, select Properties from the context menu. The DataSet Properties dialog will open to the General tab. See the section DataSet Properties in the topic DataSets for more information.
Find References will find any annotation within the document that use the selected DataSet. To view the annotation that uses the selected DataSet, highlight it in the list and then click Display Selection.
Duplicate will copy the selected DataSet. A second DataSet, "Copy 'n' of 'DataSet A'", will be created with the same properties as the selected DataSet. Multiple DataSets may be duplicated at one time by holding the Ctrl or Shift key and selecting the DataSets you want to Duplicate.

View DataStack(s) in Grid displays the selected DataStack(s) as a table in the Grid bar.
Export To File on the main DataStack node will open a dialog in which you can save all of the DataStacks in the document within one *.4dataset file. DataStacks saved this way can then be imported into other CM4D documents as a single file.
Selecting a DataStack and clicking Export To File will open a dialog in which you can save the DataStack as a *.4dataset file.
