Cell format can be specified to include both the sample and barcode. Hover the mouse over this setting to see the possible options. Often the barcode in itself is sufficient as a unique identifier of cells. However, when an expression matrix contains multiple samples, the cell format must also include the sample. NOTE: when a matrix contains more than one sample the exporter will fail if sample handling has not been defined properly.

Use compression select among gzip, zip or no compression which is default. We recommend not to use compression as the format is already a compressed tar.gz.

Output file name is the name of the file and can be customised by changing the default pattern in Custom file name.
