 ====== Plan Export ======
-Once a plan has been completed and the physician has approved the plan; the plan is ready to be sent to the Record and Verify system.
+The //Export// Block is available in Astroid to allow for saving patient and plan information in DICOM file format. Typically this feature is used once a plan has been completed, the physician has approved the plan, and the plan is ready to be sent to the Record and Verify system for QA and then patient treatment. The process of exporting files and the options available to the user are described below.
   * Open the //Export// block.
-  * The qualified person box must be checked in order to export
+  * If the plan is unpublished (unapproved), then a qualified person must authorize the export of this plan by checking the appropriate check box in order to perform the export
-  * Choose which items to be exported
+  * The user can choose from the following items to export:
