How do I export entries?

To export entries, open the list in the Entries Manager (or filter for a specific campaign if you're starting from the Entries Manager directly).

Click the Actions dropdown and select Export. Choose your export format β€” .csv (entry data), .zip (uploaded media), or both β€” then click Next. If prompted, select or create an export profile. Enter the email address where you'd like to receive the export, then click Export.

Once the export is ready, you'll receive a notification in ShortStack and an email. To download, click the bell icon in ShortStack and select Exported Entries Ready, or use the download link in the email.
