+added to your database. Exporting customizations from one database and importing them in another can
+be useful, for example, when setting up a new module or for training purposes.
 
-To export these customizations, go to :menuselection:`Main dashboard --> Studio --> Customizations
---> Export` to download a ZIP file containing all customizations.
+.. note::
+
+   Exporting customizations from Studio is different from the standard Odoo export function, which
+   allows you to export data as an Excel or csv file. With :guilabel:`Studio Export`, data is
+   exported as a ZIP file, which corresponds to a module.
+
+   When the module is imported in another database, the data is imported in a logical way, e.g. if
+   the module contains customers and sales orders, the customers are created first, since these are
+   required for the sales orders.
