Export a collection as CSV to use record titles and field values in a spreadsheet app or another app.

## Export as CSV

The CSV includes fields and records that haven't been deleted. The entire collection is exported even when a filter is active. To save the attachment files themselves too, use [Back up and restore your data](https://www.clastly.com/support/import-export/backup-restore.md).

1. Touch and hold the collection you want to export in the collection list.
2. Tap :ui[Export as CSV…]. The iPhone or iPad share sheet opens.
3. Choose a destination or recipient in the share sheet to save or share the CSV file.


## Understand the exported columns

The first column is the title, followed by fields in field order. If there are notes, a note column is included too. File fields export file names; formulas and rollups export their calculated values. The CSV uses UTF-8 encoding with a BOM.

If an error says the collection includes data created in a newer version, update Clastly before exporting. If reimporting the CSV gives different results from the original, see [Import and export FAQ](https://www.clastly.com/support/import-export/faq.md).
