  <title>Extract an archive</title>

  <p>Extract files from an archive using <app>Archive Manager</app> by
  following these steps:</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p><link xref="archive-open">Open</link> an archive.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Click <gui style="button">Extract</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Choose where you want the archive to be extracted to in the file
      chooser. This will be the destination folder. See
      <link xref="archive-extract-advanced-options">advanced options for
      extracting archives</link> for more extraction options.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Click <gui>Extract</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>If an archive is protected by a
      <link xref="password-protection">password</link>, <app>Archive
      Manager</app> will request it. Type in the password and click
      <gui>OK</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>The application will show you the progress bar in a new dialog.
      If the extraction completes successfully, you will be asked whether you
      want to:</p>
      <list>
        <item>
          <p><gui>Show the files</gui> to view the destination folder with
          <app>Files</app>.</p>
        </item>
        <item>
          <p><gui>Close</gui> the dialog.</p>
        </item>
      </list>
    </item>
  </steps>
