# Exporting Projects

Export your GlidePath project data to CSV for offline work, archiving, or re-import.

## Feature Spec Reference

**Module 1.8 — Export to CSV**

## Exporting to CSV

### Step 1: Open Export Dialog

1. From Gantt Chart view, click **Export** button
2. Select **CSV** format

### Step 2: Choose Export Scope

* **All tasks:** Export every task in the project
* **Visible tasks only:** Export only tasks shown on screen (respects filters)
* **Selected tasks:** Export only highlighted tasks

### Step 3: Select Columns

Choose which columns to include in export:

* Task Name ✓ (always included)
* Activity ID ✓
* WBS ✓
* Duration ✓
* Start Date ✓
* Finish Date ✓
* Progress % ✓
* Constraint Type ✓
* Constraint Date ✓
* Notes ✓
* Resource Names ✓
* Cost ☐ (optional)

### Step 4: Export

1. Review selected columns
2. Click **Export**
3. CSV file downloads to your computer (e.g., `GlidePath-ProjectName-export.csv`)

## CSV Format

The exported CSV has:

* **Header row:** Column names (Task Name, Duration, Start Date, etc.)
* **Data rows:** One task per row
* **Comma-separated values:** Compatible with Excel, Google Sheets, etc.

### Example Export

```csv theme={null}
Task Name,Duration,Start Date,Finish Date,Progress %,Constraint Type
Foundation Work,7,1/2/2026,1/9/2026,100,ASAP
Framing,10,1/10/2026,1/21/2026,50,ASAP
Electrical Rough-In,5,1/19/2026,1/24/2026,0,ASAP
```

## Common Export Workflows

### Workflow 1: Offline Editing

1. Export to CSV
2. Open in Excel
3. Edit durations, dates, add notes
4. Save as CSV
5. Re-import into GlidePath (updates existing tasks or creates new ones)

### Workflow 2: Stakeholder Report

1. Filter Gantt chart to critical tasks only
2. Export visible tasks to CSV
3. Email to project sponsors for review

### Workflow 3: Archiving

1. At project completion, export full schedule
2. Save CSV with date stamp (e.g., `Project-Final-Schedule-Jan2026.csv`)
3. Store in project archive

### Workflow 4: Compare Versions

1. Export current schedule to CSV
2. Export previous version to CSV
3. Use Excel to compare changes (durations, dates, scope)

## Tips

* **Include all key columns:** Don't skip columns you might need later
* **Date format:** CSV uses your locale date format (MM/DD/YYYY in US)
* **Dependencies not included:** Export doesn't include task dependencies; you'll need to re-create them on re-import
* **Metadata:** Notes and custom fields are preserved in export
