Export like this, with right-click popup (multiple export available)

Ok. So from your screenshots, it appears that you have to export each instrument individually that makes up the panel, correct? I have 2 licenses for Air Manager. One license for my PC running Windows 10 and one license on my Mac. I created the panel that I want to get onto my Mac on my PC. Exporting will create a .siff file, correct? Now I want to import it on my Mac. I emailed the .siff file to my Mac. All good so far. I launch Air Manager on my Mac and select import and point to the file that came from the email from my PC. I receive a message on my Mac that the import was successful. Now, however, I can’t find and select the panel on my Mac within Air Manager. Any idea as to what I am doing wrong? I consider myself to be quite fluent on operating computers on multiple platforms, since I am a videotape editor who is well versed in image manipulation software such as Avid, PhotoShop, Adobe Premiere etc. Please see the attached screen shot of the panel in question.

Thanks For Your Patience!

I stated "Multiple export available", so we have at first to select all of each single instrument which should be present in the export

!!! Now for Premium panels and instruments which are provided in each Premium panel, it's a very different thing, we can't export them to import on another computer. We just only have to download from the new computer, each Premium panel we have purchased. The process will automatically download the related instruments from a dedicated repository on Sim Innovations site to the Air Manager local user folder in the target computer !!!

That absolutely makes sense and of course is quite fair. I’ll go back and check but I don’t think I’m trying to export or import any premium instruments. All I wanted to do was export my self made panel with the instruments that are included with Air Manager, which means, NO PREMIUM ELEMENTS, in the positions shown in my screenshot. That is, have the exact panel between both of my computers. But I guess it does not work that way. So I manually rebuilt the panel on my Mac. I suppose that I am not fully understanding the process of Exporting and Importing to get identical panels on two different computers. I run X Plane on my Mac and MSFS on my PC. I have a knobster connected to a USB A/B switch and select appropriately for the sim I’m flying and it works great, so my sim setup is a bit complex but I’ve figured out how to make it all work. I also have 3 iPads running nav software. Again all working smoothly. You have definitely made your point very clear by kindly typing out your message in red. Got it. The work you guys do is amazing to be sure and I sincerely applaud you. I think Air Manager is by far the best companion to X Plane and MSFS out there. I am rather reluctant, however, to use the forum for inquiries or comments as I find some replies have been somewhat less than tolerant of my questions. Please see my screen capture. All I’m trying to do is get the panel shown here on both my Mac and my PC running Windows 10.
