| <font 12pt/Aptos,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>However, changes in the GeoCloud browser window will update data-changes on the profile in real time, whereas the pop-out-profile window will remain regardless of changes done in GeoCloud.

By opening one pop-out profile with one dataset and a second pop-out profile with another dataset, users can view them side by side. Because pop-out profiles remain static, they provide an effective way to compare data without changes occurring as the map or selection is updated. |
| <font 12pt/Aptos,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>Export Image gives you the options to export the profile as an image. The image file will be a .png file. You have the following options for the exported image.</font> | |

| <font 12pt/Aptos,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit></font> | **How to Use the Pop-Out Feature** |
| <font 12pt/Aptos,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>You can also generate a PDF report with profiles and the map showing the profile location with button in the map tools menu.

| <font 12pt/Aptos,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit></font> | GeoCloud will open the profile in a new browser window. |
| <font 12pt/Aptos,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit></font> | The new window can then: |

| | |
| | **Default Behavior** |
| | If the pop-out feature is not used, the profile window remains embedded within the main GeoCloud browser window. |
| | However, changes in the GeoCloud browser window will update data-changes on the profile in real time, whereas the pop-out-profile window will remain regardless of changes done in GeoCloud. This makes comparison very easy, if you want to look at different data from the same profile. And it is possible to make as many pop-out-profile windows as you like. |

| | ==== Export profile ==== |
| | |
| | All profiles drawn on the map are temporary and won't be saved within the project. If you wish to save these profiles, you have the option to export them as the profile line location and/or images. If you wish to have a permanent profiles within your project, you must first upload them in data administration, see [[..:adddata:static_profiles|static profiles]]. |

| | |
| | **Export Line** gives you the options to export the lines coordinate points to a .kml. The .kml file can be imported as a profile later or used in a different software.\\ |
| | **Export Image** gives you the options to export the profile as an image. The image file will be a .png file. You have the following options for the exported image. |

| | |
| | |
| | In the same PDF creation report dialog window, you have the option to export the profiles as zipped images alongside the report. |
| | |
| | The set profile window, zoom levels and scale will be reflected within the PDF and the images. |
