Snowray supports four different types of export formats: [RF2](https://confluence.ihtsdotools.org/display/DOCGLOSS/SNOMED+CT+Release+Format+2), XML, TSV, and FHIR.

{% hint style="info" %}
In case of XML, TSV, and FHIR formats you have the option to choose export *with History*, which will include both the active members and the inactive historical associations of the active members.

A loading indicator will be displayed while the system is preparing the file.
