Every record type (companies, people, opportunities, tasks, and notes) can be exported to CSV or Excel. Exports include the record IDs and every custom field, which makes an export the perfect starting template for a bulk update by import.
Export a list
- Open the record type's list.
- Click Import / Export, then Export.
- Choose the columns and format.
To export only some records, select their rows first and use the Export bulk action instead.
What you get
The export runs in the background. When it finishes, a notification appears with a Download .csv (or .xlsx) link. The file contains each record's ID, its core fields, the workspace, who created it and how, timestamps, and a column per custom field. Company exports also include the account owner and the number of linked people and opportunities.
Exports as backup
Because normal deletes are restorable but force deletes are not, take an export before any large clean-up. It's the cheapest undo button you'll ever have.
