Export Plane Project Work Items and Verify the Snapshot
Plane Workspace settings > Exports lets a Workspace Admin export a chosen project as CSV, Excel or JSON. Use the completed export history to download the ZIP.
Workspace export requires Workspace Admin access. Filtered exports from project lists are documented as Pro functionality; verify feature access separately on self-hosted editions.
Example: export Mobile App work for an audit, keeping the downloaded file and a record of the project and export date so readers know it is a historical snapshot.
Step-by-step guide
Choose the export scope
Open Workspace settings > Exports and click Export. Select the specific project rather than all projects when the recipient only needs Mobile App records.
Select format and filters
Choose CSV for spreadsheet analysis, Excel for workbook use, or JSON for structured processing. Apply the available filters and note them alongside the snapshot.
Start and retrieve the job
Click Export. Inspect Previous exports for Queued or Completed status, use Refresh status if needed, and Download the completed ZIP.
Reconcile before sharing
Unpack the file and compare representative IDs, states, dates and assignments with the live project. Store the source scope and timestamp with the file before distributing it.
Common mistakes
Waiting indefinitely to download
Export files expire after seven days. Download a completed artifact while available or generate a new one later.
