Starting an Export
To start your export, go to the Product Overview and select the products you want to export. The 'Export' button will appear at the top. 
Options for 'CSV', 'XLSX', 'PDF', and 'Assets' will appear. Choose the format in which you would like to export.
⚠️ If you are exporting special characters in your files, the settings of your spreadsheet reader may impact the formatting of those special characters. We recommend checking the settings of the tool you are using to open your files to ensure the accurate format.
Exporting Spreadsheets (CSV & XLSX)
A CSV is a comma separated values formatted spreadsheet, while XLSX is formatted in Excel. The process to export these is the same.

ℹ️ You may also choose to download the assets associated with your products by checking the 'Download linked assets' checkbox.
3. Click the purple 'Export' button.
Depending on the size of your files, your export may download directly in the browser. In the event that it is too large, you will see a popup that says your export is in progress.

💡 A history of your exports is available in the Export Logs area.
