# Export all your company data as CSV

> Download one ZIP with a CSV file for every business table in your ARUKZ ERP workspace, with a README. It works while the workspace is read-only too.

A company admin can download everything the workspace holds at any time from **Settings → Export all data**: one ZIP file with a CSV file for every business table of your company and its branches, plus a README that explains the files. Your data is yours to take away, and the export keeps working while the workspace is [read-only](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/admin/read-only-mode.md).

## Make an export

**1. Open Settings → Export all data**

Admins, and anyone whose role may manage users, see this page.

**2. Click Prepare export**

The ZIP is built in the background, so you can keep working.

**3. Download it when it is ready**

The list shows who asked for it, how many files it has, its size and until when it can be downloaded. Each export stays available for 7 days.

## What is in the ZIP

* **One CSV per table.** The first row names the columns; every row after that is one record. A column ending in `_id` points at a row in another file, for example `partner_id` points at `partners_partners.csv` and `product_id` at `products_products.csv`.
* **A README.txt** listing every file with its row count and what the main files hold.
* **Only your company.** Rows of other companies are never included. Tables added by modules switched on later are picked up without any change.

## What is left out

| Left out | Why |
| - | - |
| Passwords, tokens, secrets and API keys | Never written out, in any table |
| Roles, settings, document number counters, module switches, invitations | They describe the set-up, not business records |
| AI settings and the AI question log | Settings, not records |
| Your subscription and its invoices | They belong to ARUKZ's billing, not to your books; download those invoices from **Settings → Subscription** |
| Uploaded files such as attachments and bill images | The export holds table data only |

> [!TIP]
>
> For the statutory edit log, use **Export CSV** on the [audit trail](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/admin/audit-and-edit-log.md) instead; it is a separate, protected record.
