Notion is a powerful tool that allows you to easily create and manage information and knowledge databases. However, there may be instances where you want to export your data from Notion into other formats, including CSV. CSV (Comma Separated Values) is a simple file format used to store tabular data, such as a spreadsheet or database. This guide will walk you through the process of exporting your Notion data into a CSV file.

1. Open the Page You Want to Export

First, navigate to the Notion page or database you want to export. Keep in mind that only full-page databases can be exported as CSV files.

2. Click on the '...' Icon

On the top right of the page, click on the '...' icon. This will bring up a dropdown menu with various options.

3. Click on 'Export'

From the dropdown menu, select 'Export'. This will open up a new window in the center of your screen with several export options.

4. Select 'Markdown & CSV' Format

In the 'Export Format' dropdown, select 'Markdown & CSV'. If the page you're exporting is a database, the resulting file will be a CSV. Non-database pages will be exported as Markdown files. If you also want to include sub-pages in your export, toggle on the 'Include subpages' option.

5. Confirm Export

Click 'Export' to confirm the operation. Notion will create a ZIP file containing your CSV data and download it to your hard drive.

When to Export CSV From Notion

There are several instances where exporting your Notion data to CSV could be beneficial. Here are a few examples:

1. Data Transfer: If you're moving your data from Notion to another software or service that accepts CSV files, exporting to CSV will make the transfer process smoother.
2. Data Backup: Regularly exporting your important Notion databases to CSV can serve as a backup, ensuring you have a local copy of your data.
3. Data Analysis: CSV files can be imported into many data analysis tools. If you need to analyze or visualize the data from your Notion database, exporting to CSV is a great first step.
