# Export to file

Start by [filtering](/products/catalog/filters-advanced.md) out all the products you wish to export to an Excel file. All the columns you are currently seeing at the grid will be exported to a file, so if you do not need information from all the columns set up a [view](/products/catalog/system-views/custom-views.md) first. 

{% hint style="info" %}
There is a maximum limit of 100 columns and 1 500 000 cells.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Custom views can be saved and shared.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The generated file will be in .xlsx format.
{% endhint %}

Then go to Actions and click on "*Export to file*".

Depending on the information volume, this may take some time to be exported. When finished you will see a notification in [Action Center](/dashboard/dashboard/user-menu-and-action-center.md). This is also the place where you can download the file from. To do so click on the "*Download file*" button.

To get to the details (or/and check for errors) click on the "*Three dots"* menu, and choose "*See details"* option.

Check the Action details to make sure that all the products are exported properly.
