# Exports

> Export your catalog recordings, compositions, products, and commitments as CSV

## Overview

Export your catalog to CSV format for use in spreadsheets, reporting tools, or other systems. Each catalog tab — **Recordings**, **Compositions**, **Products**, and **Commitments** — has its own export with a fixed set of columns tailored to that asset type.

When you trigger an export, it runs as a background task. Once the file is ready, you receive an email with a download link, and the file also becomes available to download directly from the Exports dialog.

Exports respect the filters, search, and sort you have active on the list, so you can narrow the data down to exactly what you need before exporting.

***

## Creating an Export

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose a Catalog Tab">
    Open the catalog tab you want to export — [Recordings](/projects/catalog/recordings), [Compositions](/projects/catalog/compositions), [Products](/projects/catalog/products), or [Commitments](/projects/catalog/commitments). Each tab exports its own columns.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Apply Filters (Optional)">
    Apply any filters, search terms, or sort order to narrow down which items to export. The export respects everything currently active on the list. Skip this step to export the whole tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the Actions Menu">
    Click the **⋮** (More Options) button in the toolbar to open the actions dropdown.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Manage Exports">
    Click **Manage Exports** to open the Exports dialog, where you can view past exports and create new ones.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a New Export">
    Click **Export**. The **Create Export** dialog shows the fields that will be included and lets you choose the file type (**CSV**). Click **Export** to start it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  Exports run in the background. When the file is ready you receive an email with a download link, and the export appears in the Exports dialog with a download button.
</Info>

<Note>
  The export uses the tab's fixed set of columns — it is not tied to a custom view. To change what data is included, adjust your filters before exporting.
</Note>

## Export History

The Exports dialog keeps a log of all past exports for the tab you opened it from. Each row shows:

| Column       | Description                                |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------ |
| **User**     | The team member who ran the export         |
| **Fields**   | The columns included in the exported file  |
| **Date**     | When the export was created                |
| **Download** | Download the file directly from the dialog |

<Note>
  Only exports that finished successfully have a download button. Older exports created before in-dialog downloads shipped are delivered by their original email link.
