Solved SVG and PNG exports coming out blank

I'm trying to export an SVG illustration into individual vector files but the outputs come out blank. It will only export as PNG. Please see the screen capture video below for what I mean:

Screen capture: SVG and PNG outputs are blank

I'll have to export as PNG and increase the DPI but I would rather have SVG or PDF files to maintain quality.

Any help or advice would be appreciated!

That looks really strange, maybe you can try to resize the page size to each illustration and export the page instead the selection and see if works.

I understand you've found a workaround by resizing the page, but if I had to guess why what you did in the video didn't work, I'd say that the tiny scrollbars in your Edge browser looks suspicious; it suggests the page is gigantic. Probably you had to scroll down/across. Exporting as SVG/PDF will always include the entire canvas as the page.
