     • In the Template box, select one of the following PDF styles:

       • Standard to export a traditional PDF with a cover, table of contents, and index 
         By default, the Standard template exports the current page and its child pages.

       In this example, selecting This page and its children creates a PDF of all topics in the space's "Reference" section:
