Exports
Every tool's Export menu, the two kinds of export, and who can download which.
Every tool has an Export ▾ menu (in some tools it's Import / Export ▾). What's in it depends on the tool: see the export page in each tool's section.
Two kinds of export #
- Pictures: PDF, PNG or JPG images, and printing. A picture shows your work but doesn't carry it as data.
- Data: CSV, Excel, PowerPoint, Word, InDesign, calendar (.ics) and SVG files, each tool's own file, and copying data to the clipboard. Data can be opened and reused elsewhere.
Who can download what #
| You're looking at | Pictures | Data |
|---|---|---|
| Your own work: Local, in a project folder, or not yet saved | Yes | Yes |
| A scheme in a project where you're an owner, admin or editor | Yes | Yes |
| A scheme in a project where you're a viewer | Yes | No |
| Someone's view-only link or snapshot, signed in | Yes | No |
| A view-only link, signed out | No | No |
Items you can't use stay in the menu, grayed out, with a short note: Sign in to download pictures of this (free). or Data downloads are for people who can edit this.
Your own work is never held back. You can always export it, and your account page can download everything at once. See Download your data.
A tool's own file #
Most tools save a file of their own, like a .schedule.json or a .blx for Bluebeam Revu. A tool's own file holds one scheme exactly as the tool saves it, so you can open it again later with the tool's Import or open-file command. It's the best way to keep a backup of Local only work.
To carry a whole project, every tool together, use a project file.
