# Export Data

You can download any table as a file for offline use, sharing, or backup. You can also share the table publicly via a read-only link.

## How to export

1. Open the table you want to export by clicking its name in the Tables list.
2. Click the **Export** button in the toolbar.
3. Choose your format:
   * **Export as TSV** - downloads a tab-separated values file.
   * **Export as XLSX** - downloads a Microsoft Excel file.
4. The file downloads to your computer.

## Share a table publicly

The export popover also includes a public sharing option. When sharing is enabled on a table, anyone with the share link can view the table data in read-only mode - no account required.

{% hint style="info" %}
Public table sharing must be enabled on the table before the share link is active. Check with your project administrator if you need this feature turned on.
{% endhint %}

## When to export

* **Offline analysis** - open the data in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet tool.
* **Sharing with collaborators** - send the file to people who don't have access to your project.
* **Backup** - keep a local copy of important data.
* **External tools** - import into statistical software like SPSS, Stata, or R.

{% hint style="info" %}
Exported files include all rows and columns in the table. If you need only a subset, use the Search or Filter tools in the table view to narrow down the data before exporting.
{% endhint %}

## Shared table viewer

If a project administrator has enabled public sharing for a table, anyone with the share link can view it at `/table/:tableId` - no account required.

The shared viewer has its own toolbar:

| Button      | What it does                                                                                      |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Search**  | Opens a search popover - type a term and click **Search** to filter rows, or **Close** to dismiss |
| **Expand**  | Toggles column wrapping - click once to wrap long text, click again to clip it                    |
| **Refresh** | Reloads the table data                                                                            |

**Selecting rows**

* The **Select All** checkbox in the header row selects or deselects all visible rows at once.
* Each data row has its own checkbox for individual selection.

**Files**

Cells that contain uploaded files show a clickable link. Clicking it opens the file in a new browser tab.

**Pagination**

Use the **previous** and **next** page buttons at the bottom of the table to move between pages. The **page size** selector lets you choose how many rows are shown at once.

{% hint style="info" %}
The shared viewer is read-only. Viewers cannot add, edit, or delete rows.
{% endhint %}
