Workspace admins export data from **Settings → API & Data → Import & Export**, where each record type has its own **Download CSV** button. You can export contacts, companies, deals, tasks, meetings and notes, and each export contains every record of that type, with no row limit.

Export is switched off during the 7 day trial. Members cannot open **API & Data**. If you need an export, ask an admin on your team.

## Download a CSV

1. Open **Settings** and choose **API & Data**.
2. Scroll to **Import & Export**, then to **Export Data**.
3. Find the row you want: **Contacts**, **Companies**, **Deals**, **Tasks**, **Meetings** or **Notes**. Each row shows how many records it holds.
4. Choose **Download CSV**.

![Export Data in Settings, API and Data](/help/export-your-data/export-data.webp "Export Data, with one Download CSV button per record type.")

The file is named after the record type and the date, for example `leadlex-contacts-2026-10-23.csv`. It is UTF-8 encoded, so names with accents open correctly in Excel and Google Sheets.

## What an export includes

- Every record of that type in your workspace. Large workspaces take a little longer.
- A fixed set of columns for each type. The notes export, for example, has title, content, category, interaction type, tags and created date.
- Contacts merged into another contact are left out, so a merged duplicate does not come back.

Cells that start with `=`, `+`, `-` or `@` get a leading apostrophe. This stops a spreadsheet from running them as formulas.

## What an export does not include

The CSV exports do not contain emails, the activity timeline, campaigns, lists, LinkedIn messages, Lexi conversations or attachments. LeadLex has no one-click export of the whole workspace.

If you need more than the CSV files, for example when your firm leaves LeadLex, write to [lexi@leadlex.com](mailto:lexi@leadlex.com). Under the [data processing agreement](/dpa) your firm can ask for its data to be returned or deleted.

## Export selected companies from Network

Any member can export a selection of companies.

1. Open **Network** and select the **Companies** tab.
2. Select the companies you want.
3. Choose **Export** in the bar that appears.

This file has the columns Name, Industry, City, Country, Domain, Priority, Pipeline (EUR), People and Deals.

Every export is recorded in the **Activity Log** under **Security & Privacy**, so admins can see who exported what.
