# Export a model

The **Export a model** task exports a model to be used outside of Google Sheets.
Currently, models can only be exported as TensorFlow Saved Models compatible
with Colab and
[Tensorflow Serving](https://www.tensorflow.org/tfx/guide/serving).

Note that your models are stored in the *simple_ml_for_sheets* directory in
Google Drive, and that those models can be directly used with
[Yggdrasil Decision Forests](https://github.com/google/yggdrasil-decision-forests).
For example, the models can be run directly in C++, Go, or JavaScript (See
[YDF inference solutions](https://ydf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/serving_apis.html)
for more details).

Use this task as follows:

1.  Select the "Export a model" task.
2.  Select a previously trained model.
3.  Click on "Export"
4.  After a few seconds, the code to use your model will show up in a new
    window, ready to be used.
5.  Copy this code in a Colab.
