How do I download my data before access ends?

SmartSuite data can be downloaded one Table at a time. To download a complete Solution, you need to download the data from each Table individually. Follow these steps to download a Table to CSV, Excel, Google Sheets, or PDF:

1. Download a table

  1. Navigate to the Solution containing the Table.

  2. Create a New View in the Table you want to download from.

Frequently asked questions

How do I back up everything in my workspace?

Export one table at a time: create a view, select all fields, then choose Export from the three-dot menu. Repeat for every table in every solution. Attachments are not in the export and must be downloaded by hand.

Can I download all attachments at once?

No. Exports contain the field values only; attachments are downloaded individually from the records.

Which formats can I export to?

Adobe PDF, Microsoft Excel (XLSX), Google Sheets and CSV.

My account is locked and I need my data. What do I do?

Email support@smartsuite.com from the address on the account. Only an Administrator can export, so support will confirm who can act for the workspace.

I think the restriction is a mistake. Who do I contact?

Email support@smartsuite.com with your workspace name and the region you are in.
