# Export data

> Export your team's boards, cards, comments, and other data as a ZIP file of CSV and JSON files. You can still export for 30 days after you cancel.

You can export your team's work data as a single ZIP file. Use it as a backup, or to move to another tool.

Who can do this: Owners and Managers

## Export

**1. Go to the export section**

Open the **Team settings** tab of the [admin console](https://help.zarms.cloud/en/admin/admin-console.md) and go to
**Export data** near the bottom.

**2. Request an export**

Click **Request export**. You'll see "Received. It will be ready within 24 hours."

**3. Download**

When it's ready, the message changes to "Ready to download." Download it from the same section.

Getting the export ready can take up to 24 hours. You can run only one export at a time, so you can't request another while one is being prepared.

You can download the file for 30 days after it's created. After that, request a new export.

## What's included

The export includes your team information, boards, cards, steps, comments, the directory, groups, skills, custom field definitions, a list of your Google Drive files, and more, in both CSV and JSON. Notices from ZARMS are included as PDFs. CSV files use UTF-8.

These are not included:

* The full audit log (you can export the audit log as CSV from the [admin console](https://help.zarms.cloud/en/admin/admin-console.md#export-as-csv))
* Billing records
* Sign-in credentials (such as API keys)
* Information from other teams

The Google Docs and folders for your cards stay in Google Drive as they are. If you need them, save them from Google Drive.

## Export after you cancel

When you cancel a paid plan and the team is canceled, you can no longer open boards or the admin console. But for 30 days after you cancel, Owners and Managers can still request an export and download it. The download deadline is whichever comes first: 30 days after the file was created, or 30 days after you canceled.

After 30 days, you can no longer export, but your data isn't deleted automatically. To delete the data, an Owner needs to [delete the team](https://help.zarms.cloud/en/admin/delete-team.md).
