Cannot seem to be able to export or save as a step in an Action

Hello. After opening an image, I want to resize that image into 5 different sizes. This means I need to be able to export the image, then resize, then export, then resize again and so forth. But when I created an Action, any saving as or exporting is not recorded in the action. Do I really have to create 5 different actions because I need to export each file manually and separately? I used to be able to save directly to a folder on my desktop through the Action, but this is no longer the case. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
