Export customizations is not visible as an option after selecting Customizations

Question
-
I want to add a new Area to Microsoft Dynamics 2013 on-line. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd393294.aspx says the way to do this involves selecting Customizations and then selecting Export Customizations, but Export Customizations is not visible. Is this a permissions issue or what? Any suggestions.Saturday, January 4, 2014 5:39 PM

CRM 4.0 had export customizations but since the Solutions concept was introduced in CRM 2011 (and 2013) customizations are part of a solution.So you need to export a solution.
To export the default solution you can navigate to Settings -> customizations -> customize the system . This will open the default solution where you will find the 'Export Solution' ribbon button. That gives you all the customizations.

Hi,
Follow this. It is for CRM 2011 but still relevant. Create a solution and add only sitemap for export to keep it simple and lightweight.
