In the “Retrieved Segments” window, which is one of MAXQDA's four primary windows, you can compile text passages, image sections, and video clips that you have previously coded.
Essentially, the "Retrieved Segments" window can be referred to as a results or output window as it displays the segments of your coded data that have been retrieved based on your defined criteria.

The "Retrieved Segments" window toolbar offers several functions, including:
Display origin — displays the document name from which the segment originates for each segment, supplemented by the position within the document.
Display favorite variables — for all variables marked as favorites in the List of Document Variables, the variable values for each segment are displayed.
Display comments of coded segments — displays the column with comments on the coded segments.
Overview of retrieved segments — opens the tabular Overview of Coded Segments containing all retrieved segments.
Smart Coding Tool — opens the retrieved segments in the Smart Coding Tool, where the assignments of codes can be analyzed and re-worked.
Code Relations Browser — opens the Code Relations Browser for the displayed retrieved segments, which visualizes co-occurring codes.
Word cloud — creates a word cloud of the words most often used in the displayed retrieved segments.
Code retrieved segments with a new code — all coded segments that are currently in the “Retrieved Segments” can be coded additionally with a new code.
Export retrieved segments — the segments can be exported in several formats (for example, Word and Excel). Memos attached to coded segments, other codes assigned to the segment, as well as tooltip variables, can be included in the exported material. You can also export your segments using the Smart Publisher. You also have the option to directly 
print retrieved segments indicating their origins.
