Why does "export()" function on a live script export the data of the previous run?

I am using the "export" function on a live script. The live script is opening a file in a custom format, extracting, parsing and processing the data and then displaying the path of the source file and drawing graphs to show information of interest. Once the script is completed, the file paths and figures in the live script are correct, but if the export command is added at any point in the live script, the exported pdf shows the data that was generated during the previous execution of the live script.

The “export()” function takes a file path as argument and therefore, it loads the last saved state of the file from disk for the export. So the results are not current. If the most recent execution results should be considered while exporting, please save the file before exporting.
