# Export

Export your form submissions to a CSV file after applying search, status, and date filters, with stable columns and secure links for any attachments.

Use an export when the inbox needs to become a spreadsheet or move somewhere else.

Apply the search, status, and date filters you need. Then choose **Export**.

## What the file contains

CSV exports include stable columns for submitted fields and useful [submission metadata](/docs/submissions/metadata) like submitted-at and status. Missing fields stay empty rather than shifting later columns. The file is UTF-8 encoded, and the export only includes the rows that match the search, status, and date filters you currently have applied.

Attachments are not placed inside the CSV; each row keeps a [secure download link](/docs/submissions/attachments) instead, so file access stays protected with authorized, temporary URLs.

Exports contain personal data. Store them only as long as [your team needs them](/docs/submissions/retention) and share them through an approved location.
