*Comment: An important use case for the Keep button. How do we store just the image, without the software state? Some Activities, including Turtle Art, have a button for this purpose.

==Summary==
 +
*A brief synopsis of the process:
 +
1)You need a 2nd USB-stick inserted in a USB slot before you begin.
 +
2)Click on the journal icon under the XO Avitar in f3 (Home) screen.
 +
3)move the mouse cursor to the center of the screen.
 +
4)In the left bottom of the sugar screen will be 2 USB icons
 +
  - Journal
 +
  - 2nd USB
 +
5)click on the file in the journal listing that pops up when you click on the icon in the left bottom corner;
 +
and hold down the mouse as you drag the entry to the 2nd USB Icon next to it on the bottom left  corner.
 +
6) release the mouse button when you are over the 2nd USB Icon and a + will appear.
 +
This is a '''Drag-Drop''' export to the 2nd USB-stick
 +
*Import to Sugar Journal is done just the opposite way:
 +
1) click on a picture or .xo file on the 2nd USB that pops up when you click on the icon in the left bottom corner.
 +
2) drag it with the mouse to the journal icon in the bottom left corner. A + will appear as it is added to the journal.
 +
*When you go to (f3) Home  Screen and click on the journal the new item will be in the journal.
 +
:Plus if it was an activity.xo file It will be installed.
 +
*(The drag-drop process in sugar does a hidden conversion of the journal files to ones that will work on a USB. It seems to be the only way to do an import/export in Sugar.)
