Any groups with this setting will be skipped during export, leaving the original group unedited.

Just select the group(on at a time) to exclude and press the 'Exclude from Export' button. Do the same to re-include a group. Note: You must have a UV/Image editor window open in your scene.

Click the 'Set' button to set the geostate. Fix Seams: note: If you use Fix Seams, you cannot go into Edit mode with the group you used it on, or Blender will recalculate the vertex normals and undo the fix. You can use Edit mode on other groups as long as you haven't used Fix Seams on them.
Fix Seams Should probably be one of the last things you do before exporting. Also, the result may not be visible, and the only way to verify that it worked is to go into Edit mode and turn on the vertex normals. But then Blender will undo the fix once you go back to Object mode, so you'll have to do Fix Seams again.:P 1. While in Edit mode, select the only the vertices of the seam(it may be easier to select the edges in edge select mode). Do the same for all groups that have seams you want to fix. While in Object mode, select all the groups that have seams to fix and click the Fix Seams button.
If there were no problems, 'Alignment complete' will printed in the Console.
