# Export

Export lets you take data from your **Companies** listing — including its certification details — out of CertSearch as a file you can use elsewhere — in a spreadsheet, a report, or another system. Instead of copying data by hand or asking support, you can do it yourself in a few clicks.

### What you can do

* **Run a one-time export** — download the file or email a secure link to people in your organisation.
* **Save settings you use often as a template**, so you don't set them up every time.
* **Schedule an export** to run automatically (daily, weekly, or monthly) and email the file to a saved group of recipients.
* **Track everything in one place** on the Export Management page — past runs, re-downloads, and your saved templates, schedules, and recipient groups.

### Who can use it

Export is part of the paid CertSearch plans. Everyone can click **Export** on the Companies listing — what happens next depends on your plan.

* **Paid users** have full access to Export.
* **Free Trial users** have access to Export while their free trial is active. When the trial ends, one of two things happens: **either subscribe to a plan (for example, Basic), and your export access continues without interruption; or don't subscribe,** and the account returns to **Free**, where Export shows the paywall modal until you upgrade.
* **Free and Pay-As-You-Go users** see a paywall modal. Selecting **Subscribe Now** opens the [Plans page](https://www.iafcertsearch.org/membership/plans); once you upgrade, Export opens normally — no need to log out and back in.

### Where to go next

* To pull a file right now, see [**Running an export**](/verifiers/bulk-delivery/export/running-an-export.md).
* To find past runs or manage your saved items and schedules, see [**Export Management**](/verifiers/bulk-delivery/export-management.md).
* To understand Export terms, see the [**Export glossary**](/verifiers/bulk-delivery/export-glossary.md).

### Good to know

* Exports are scoped by the filters on your listing (or by a template).
* File formats are CSV, JSON, JSONL, and XML. Excel (`.xlsx`) isn't offered — use CSV and open it in Excel or Google Sheets.
* Delivery to SFTP/FTP servers is coming soon. Files are delivered by download or email.
