Export and download	Here, you can export your model(s) out of xP&A into a variety of formats and file types.

Calculation	Here, you can specify, if you want the data of your model to be recomputed manually. Once you activate this option, the data will be recalculated.
Last edited	Here, you can see who last edited the model and when.
Audit logs	Here, you can open the audit logs, which are a model-by-model running history of who has made what edits (and when) to a model's variables, dimensions, visuals, or data. For more information on this topic, see Viewing the Audit Logs of a Model.
