The NocoDB Data Exporter extension exports data from your tables in different formats.

## Overview

The `Data Exporter` extension makes it easy to export data from your NocoDB tables. With a few clicks, you can download a CSV file for any table and view in your base. The export runs asynchronously in the background, so you can continue to use the application. When your file is ready, you get a notification. You can then download the CSV to your local machine at any time.

## Exporting Data

To export data from your NocoDB tables:

1. Select the table and the view that you want to export.
2. Optional: set the Separator and Encoding:
   * Default separator: Comma `,`
   * Other options: Semicolon `;`, Pipe `|` and `Tab`
3. Click the **Export** button.
   When the export is complete, the file shows in the **Recent Exports** section.
4. To save the CSV file to your local device, click the **Download** button.

<Callout type="note">
  You can set Separator and Encoding only in the expanded extension panel.

2. To save the file to your device, click the Download icon next to it.

### Removing Exports
