Hi all, this morning I was exporting from ArcMap to a PNG file. Towards the bottom of the window that opens when I click "Export map..", there was a little arrow to close the detail section. The detail section apparently contains the size of the graphic, the file type, even the name.

Now that I have clicked that, it seems to be gone forever. Now when the Export map window comes up, the window only shows files within the folder, and does not show the details arrow (to re-expand the detail section), or even the filename, graphic type or graphic size (see attachment).

I have tried stretching the window around etc., and cannot locate that now hidden section. Can anyone suggest I might get it back? I have opened/closed Arcmap, no luck there.

Thank you.

I used the same 4tab, space bar to see the Options for file format export....but still do not see the "Clip to Graphic Extent" either....any updates adding that check box option back in?  I am using both arcmap and arcpro....but would like to get this remedied in arcmap.

I have one foot in arcmap the other in arcpro...

Thank you, I did not understand exactly how to apply your method but I pressed many times both keys and now export map options are back.. 🙂

Thanks again

Cursor in the file name; four taps on the tab key; once on the space bar. It's a beautiful thing! Thanks for the perfect strategy!

😄 Thanks. Had the same problem today with ArcGIS 10.2 but had to use both solutions and it works now.

Here is the easiest way to fix the problem.  Open the Export Map window and put your cursor in the File Name section.  Hit the Tab key 4 times to activate the Options button that is hidden (should be right after Cancel), press space bar once to expand the Option section.

Thanks, your fix worked for me today.  Thanks goodness for Google and forums.
