Need to get data from your forums into a spreadsheet? We'll walk you through how to export your ideas, voters, comments, and other activity.

Export Ideas and/or Voters
When viewing All Ideas, you can use filters and search to find the ideas you're interested in. Once you have narrowed down your list of ideas, you can export data for the ideas in that list.

- The Export Settings menu provides several options for you to obtain the data you need for any particular export. You can see a video of this feature here.
