# `<exportanchors>`

The `<exportanchors>` element is used to delay `@conref` resolution within DITA documents. This allows you to process or display DITA content in a way that will resolve only some of the `@conref` values in that content, while remaining values are left for later resolution. The element contains a list of IDs or keys that should not be resolved during the initial preparation of the content for display; those IDs and keys will be preserved after that preparation, as will the conref relationship itself.
