info

Exporting large workspaces may take some time depending on the number of work items.

  1. Download file
    You can view the history of your exports under Previous exports. For each export:
  • You'll see its status (e.g., Queued, Completed).
  • The date and the name of the user who triggered the export.
  • The format used for the export.

Exported files remain downloadable for a limited time (7 days). After this period, they will show as "Expired" and you'll need to create a new export.

  • Work items: Export filtered work item lists from any view
  • Cycles: Export work items within a specific cycle
  • Modules: Export work items within a specific module
  • Views: Export custom filtered views you've saved
