Hi

I’m new to JabRef 5.x. I have a personal Export Filter that converts `.bib` files into `.html` using some `.layout` files. According to JabRef 5.x doc, I should add the filter as below  
**Options** → **Manage custom exports**. However, I do not have such a tab under **Options**. All I have under **Options** are: **Preferences** , **Manage content selectors** , and **Customize entry types**. Please advise.

Thanks,

The custom export filter can be added as below  
**Options** → **Preferences** → **Custom export formats**. Click on **Add** and provide the _Export format name_, the path to the main `.layout` file, and the _File extension_.
