View source for CryoNAV Data Sharing Archiving

CryoNAV provides reporting and export tools designed to consolidate everything known about a dataset, from acquisition conditions through processing provenance to final quality assessment, into a portable form.

== Reports ==

The '''Create Report''' function produces a detailed report for a grid or project, listing every tilt series with:

* Acquisition parameters (voltage, pixel size, dose, tilt range, camera)
* Full processing history (pipeline steps run, parameters used, software versions, outcomes)
* Quality metrics derived from processing outputs (alignment residuals, CTF defocus values and fit quality, drift measurements)
* User-assigned quality annotations (star ratings, tags, comments)

These reports give a complete picture of a dataset's state, suitable for PI review, publication methods sections, or experimental records.

== Excel and CSV export ==

Tabular exports where each row represents a tilt series and columns capture acquisition metadata, processing parameters, computed quality metrics, and user ratings/tags.

* '''Excel''': preserves formatting, directly usable for sorting, filtering, and charting in spreadsheet software.
* '''CSV''': for compatibility with R, Python, and other analysis tools.

== ZIP bundle archive ==

Configurable packages where users select which data to include, for example:

* Raw frames plus the processing parameters needed to reconstruct from scratch
* Final tomogram volumes only
* Denoised tomograms only
* Any combination of the above

The exported bundle includes the associated metadata in a structured directory layout, making it suitable for sharing tailored result sets with collaborators or creating comprehensive archival packages that preserve the complete data lineage.

== Planned exports ==

Export into RELION .star files is planned, to facilitate handoff to sub-tomogram averaging pipelines. See [[CryoNAV About#Status and roadmap|Status and roadmap]].
