Export Your Data
Start an export from a module#
Exports begin on the module you want to export. Open a module’s list (for example Contacts), open the Create {Module} dropdown, and choose Export {Module}. (This needs the module’s Export permission, granted per profile in Roles.)
In the dialog choose:
- Scope — Current filter (if a filter is applied), N selected (if you ticked rows), or All records.
- Format — XLSX (Excel) or CSV.
- Email when ready — get a download link by email (up to 10 recipients).
Click Start export. The file is generated in the background and you’re notified when it’s ready.
Track & download: the Export center#
Open Setup → Data Administration → Export to see your export jobs.
- Each row shows the module, scope, format, row count, size, status (Queued / Processing / Completed / Failed), and when it was created.
- When a job is Completed, click Download.
💡
History shows the last 30 days, and each file expires 7 days after it finishes — download it before then. You only see your own exports. Large selections are capped at 1,000 selected records (use All records or a filter for more).
