Export a Dataset
Need a copy outside Seekdown — to review it, share it, or keep a backup? Export the whole dataset to a file in a couple of clicks.
Before You Start
- Open the dataset you want to export.
Steps
- Open the dataset's details page from Memory datasets.
- Choose Export from the actions bar.
- Pick a format from the dialog:
| Format | What you get |
|---|---|
| Excel (PowerQuery) | An OData URL you can connect from Excel's Power Query for a live, refreshable feed. This is an Enterprise feature — on other plans, use CSV or JSON instead. |
| CSV | A downloadable file with all content items — each row includes the item's key, title, status, URL, body, summary, tags, source, and discovery timestamp. Good for spreadsheets and quick reviews. |
| JSON | A downloadable file with all content items as a JSON array. Good for scripts, imports into other tools, or archiving. |
CSV and JSON files are named {datasetId}_{date}, so you can tell which dataset and when the export was taken.
- Click to start the download. For large datasets the file may take a few seconds to generate.
Verify the Result
Open the downloaded file and spot-check that it contains the content you expected — row count, key items, and recent additions.
Troubleshooting
- If the export is empty, the dataset probably has no content items yet — add documents or run a data capture job first.
- If the download doesn't start, refresh the page and try once more.
