# How to Export Data

> Export safety records, compliance evidence, and operational data from PlaneConnection in JSON or CSV format.

This guide helps you export safety records, operational data, and compliance evidence for backup, migration, or regulatory audits.

<Warning>
  This feature requires **administrator** or **workspace owner** permissions. Changes made here
  affect all users in your workspace.
</Warning>

<Info>
  **Who should read this:** Workspace administrators (Admin role) and Accountable Executives. The
  full workspace data export is restricted to the System Administrator and Accountable Executive
  roles. Other roles may have limited export access from individual list views depending on their
  [permissions](/en/reference/permissions).
</Info>

## Export the full workspace data set

<Steps>
  ### Step 1: Navigate to the export page

  In the **Safety** module, go to **Settings > Export**.

  ### Step 2: Choose an export format

  Select **JSON** (for programmatic access) or **CSV Bundle** (for spreadsheets).

  ### Step 3: Download the export

  Click **Export All Data**. The file downloads automatically.
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Schedule regular exports (monthly or quarterly) as part of your data backup strategy. Store
  exports in a secure, offsite location separate from your PlaneConnection workspace.
</Tip>

## Export from individual list views

If you want to export specific data sets, navigate to the relevant list view (Safety Reports, Investigations, CPAs, Trips, Aircraft, or Financial), apply any filters, and click the **Export** button in the toolbar.

<Warning>
  Exports are point-in-time snapshots. If you are exporting for migration or backup, ensure all
  pending data entry is complete before running the export.
</Warning>

<Note>
  For data retention requirements and privacy compliance details, see [Data Privacy and
  Compliance](/en/explanation/data-privacy).
