SiteCore Item Serialization

Question

I am trying to use the "Serialize Item" ribbon button in Sitecore but it does not seem to work. There is not anything written in the serialization folder. What might be causing this?

Answer 1

My guess is that it has something to do with permissions on the data\serialization folder. As the commenter mentioned you should check the logs, there will probably be some sort of error message if that is the case.
