How do I include just one year, or a specific time period?

Q: How do I include just one year, or a specific time period?

Use the From and To date fields at the top of the message selection screen and click Filter. The list updates to show only messages in that window, and the Select all options then apply only to the filtered messages.

Use the "From" and "To" date fields to filter the conversation, then select within that window.

1
On the message selection screen, click the "From" field and choose your start date.
2
Click the "To" field and choose your end date.
3
Click "Filter". The message list updates to show only messages within your dates.
4
Select messages as usual, or open the "Select all" dropdown and choose "Select all filtered messages" to grab the whole window at once.
5
Click "Reset dates" to see the full conversation again. Your selections are kept.

Note: When a date filter is active, the "Select all" options only apply to the filtered messages, not the whole conversation. That makes it easy to build a book one year at a time.
