While you can work with sound files individually while recording a topic or in the Sound Properties pane from within the Developer, you can also work with them outside of the Developer. To do this, you export and import the sound files in bulk. Exporting the sound files creates a central location for the files, with the appropriate folder structure. After you have created or edited the files, you can them import them back in to the Developer easily.

The process consists of three overall steps:

• Export the files: This creates a central location where the sound files are stored as .wav files.
   
• Create or edit the files: Using external tools, edit existing sound files or create new ones. The sound report, created during export, lists the existing and missing files.
   
• Import the files: This imports the sound files from the external location back in to the appropriate topics or web pages in the Developer.
