Managing CMS collections

CMS: Exporting Content from Your Collection

You can export a CMS (Content Management System) collection's content as a CSV file to use it in another application such as Google Sheets or Excel.

Important:

  • If your collection has non-Latin characters, it is exported using UTF-8 encoding.

  • Time fields in the exported CSV file are displayed as UTC+0.

To export content from your content collection:

  1. Go to CMS in your site's dashboard. Alternatively, you can click CMS in your editor, then click Your Collections.
    Tip:
    Go to the CMS from your editor if you need to export a sandbox collection.

  2. Click the relevant collection.

  3. (If you have enabled sandbox collections) Click the collection type you want to export at the top: Sandbox Collection or Live Collection.

  4. Click More Actions and click Export to CSV.

  5. Choose which parts of your collection you want included in the exported file:The entire collection: Export all items and fields, including hidden and system fields.
    Filtered data: Export only the items that match the current filter.
    Collection fields: Export the collection structure. Only the field names are exported, including hidden and system fields. This is useful if you want to create your content in a spreadsheet application and then easily import it back to your content collection.

  6. Click Export.

  7. When your file is ready, click Download File.
