Ive tried to export multiple items into one zip file with the “Save each 1st level item separately” both on windows and iPad, on Ipad, I got a simple step file, on Windows, i got a corrupted .zip file. How can I resolve the issue, without exporting each item separately? painfully slow with almost 40 items to export

It appears to be a compatibility issue with the Windows native zip application. The exported .zip file worked fine for me after I downloaded and used 7-Zip to decompress the file (instead of the native windows zip application)
