# Exporting Photos and Data

> How to export photos and roster data from a session.

Once you've reviewed and approved photos, you can export them from the **Export** tab of your session.

## What you can export

| Export type | What's included                                                                    |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **CSV**     | Spreadsheet of all person data with the fields you configured during session setup |
| **ZIP**     | All approved photos, renamed using your filename template                          |

## Exporting photos

1. Open your session and go to the **Export** tab
2. Choose your export scope:
   * **All approved** — Every person with an approved photo
   * **Filtered** — A subset based on field values or status
3. Click **Export**
4. Download the ZIP file when it's ready

### Filename templates

Photos are renamed during export based on the filename template you configured when creating the session. Templates use field placeholders:

| Example template           | Result              |
| -------------------------- | ------------------- |
| `{uid}`                    | `STU001.jpg`        |
| `{last_name}_{first_name}` | `Wilson_Emma.jpg`   |
| `{uid}_{last_name}`        | `STU001_Wilson.jpg` |

<Tip>
  You can change the filename template after session creation from the session settings. This only affects future exports — previous exports keep their original filenames.
</Tip>

## Exporting data

To export roster data as a CSV:

1. Go to the **Export** tab
2. Select **CSV export**
3. Choose which fields to include
4. Click **Export**

The CSV includes one row per person with the fields you selected.

## Export history

Every export is logged. You can see previous exports and their details from the Export tab, including:

* When the export was created
* Who created it
* How many records were included
* The scope and filename template used

<Warning>
  Exports are subject to your plan's limits. Check your current usage in **Billing** if an export is blocked.
