When the file is ready, it downloads, holding the entries the list would show you for the period and filters you exported.

## Things to know

- One export can cover up to 31 calendar days. If the list's period is longer, shorten it before you click **Export as CSV File**.
- The window starts from the list's period and filters. Changes you make in the window apply only to the file, and the list keeps its own.
