# Export Derivation Path Keys

{% hint style="warning" %}
Nova Spektr does not store your private keys, and as a result, this means that exporting your derivation path keys does not export your private key.

Only public keys and derivation paths are exported during this process.
{% endhint %}

This article explains how to export your derivation path keys as a file. This file can then be used later to re-import your derivation paths into Polkadot Vault.

1. Open the Nova Spektr Application.
2. **Select** the wallets dropdown located at the top left of the screen.
3. Navigate your cursor over your **desired Polkadot Vault wallet** then click on the **information icon** at the right.
4. You will now see the **details** of your Polkadot Vault wallet, including all the derivation paths.
5. Select the **3 horizontal dots** at the top right corner then choose **Export keys.**
6. Select **Download as txt-file**.
7. **Save** the file in your desired location. Keep it safe as you can later use this to re-import your derivation paths.
