Is it possible to add pregenerated characters to the /export function?

[merkvah]

I've created a campaign (a one shot) in D&D 5e, and I want to use /export to create a module for it.

The one-shot is at level 7, so I've created a bunch of characters (15 of them, I think) for my players to choose from when we run it.

I would like to /export and add all of the records, including the characters I've made, to store them for future games. When I drag other records, like images or story records, to the /export window, it works just fine, but when I drag characters to it, they are not added to the list. Am I doing something wrong, or is this not possible?

Many thanks for your time and attention to this!

PS: Sorry if this has been asked before, i did a quick search of the forums but didn't find the keywords I was looking for.

Yes, when exporting to module, make sure you select Pregenerated Characters option on the Record Types.
Couldn't find a wiki or video on it though.

See this video which is all about exporting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yilMnTzGbI&list=PLvtWYj3HpGj4PXCYx5lYhl4BeP3fqjTmQ&index=37&t=751s&ab_channel=PhilipGreig%28Zacchaeus%29

All of that I know.

So if I'm trying to export the pregenerated characters, would I drag them from the Characters window? Or somewhere else? I tried dragging them from the Characters window and it didn't work. I don't know where else to drag them from.

You just make sure the radio button is selected next to Pregenerated Characters and all the characters present in that campaign will be exported with the module. They don't automatically show up in whatever campaign the module is opened in, however. You need to import them. This allows the GM to be choosey about what characters they want to make available.

To export anything just click the dot next to the item on the list. You don’t need to drag anything into the export window. If you tick NPCs then it will export all the NPCs in the campaign list. Same for stories and anything else. So tick the box next to pregenerated characters and they will all export. As far as I know there is no drag and drop option for pregenerated characters like there is for other categories. But as I noted in the video just click the all button and everything will export.
