+   If you closed Studio, the Animation Editor may be blank or closed.
+

+## Get the animation ID

+An animation ID lets the game know what animation to play. You'll use the ID of your exported animation for players in your game.
+
+1. Once the animation is exported, **copy** the ID by clicking the icon next to the ID. You should see a green "**ID Copied!_**" text.
