==== Exporting Procreate native files fails ====

'''Use case'''

[[File:Procreate-export-error.png|200px|thumb|right|Procreate export error]]Both of these cases apply to exporting images as native Procreate files. Exporting the same in PSD format will be successful. <ref>[https://folio.procreate.art/discussions/4/10/16426 Export Unsuccessful] - Procreate forums</ref>

1. Select files in Procreate Gallery and drag them to external app. The app will show a dialog with a message like, "Importing X item(s) X item(s) remaining," with a progress circle that does not change. Nothing seems to happen after this point. If the dialog is dismissed by pressing the '''Cancel''' button, no files will have been added to the external app.

2. Select a file or files in Procreate Gallery, and then press the '''Share''' button. Select "Procreate" as the file format. A message will display, "Exporting..." with a checkmark. Then another message, "Export unsuccessful."

'''Cause'''

Older Procreate images won't export successfully as native Procreate files. Newer Procreate images can be exported successfully.

'''Solution'''

If an image cannot be exported, open it in Procreate and crop the image by one pixel in either dimension. Close the image to save the changes. This seems to update the image so that it can now be exported like newer Procreate images.
