Export a workspace

Exporting a workspace in Baserow is straightforward. You can now choose which databases, applications, and dashboards to include in your export, instead of exporting everything at once.

This makes it easier to back up or share only the relevant parts of a workspace, saving time and storage space.

Steps to export a workspace

  1. Navigate to the Home page.

    • Click on the Home tab in the top navigation menu to view a list of all your workspaces.

  2. Locate the workspace you want to export.

    • Next to the workspace name, click the small arrow icon to open the dropdown menu.

  3. Select “Export data.”

    • This opens the export dialog.

  4. Choose what to export.

    • Expand the lists of Databases and Dashboards to select specific items.
    • You can use Select all or Deselect all for quick actions.

  5. Set export options.

    • Enable Export structure only if you only want to export the structure (tables, fields, dashboards) without the actual data.
    • Leave it unchecked to include the data as well.

  6. Export the data.

    • Click Export data to generate a ZIP file. Once the export is completed, the file will be available to download and stored in your device’s default download folder.

Notes on exported workspaces

  • Exported data is saved as a ZIP file, which can be imported into another Baserow instance.
  • Workspace exports may contain sensitive information. Store them securely and limit access to trusted users.

Import data into Baserow

After exporting a workspace, you might want to import it into another Baserow instance. The import process complements exporting and makes transferring data efficient.

  • Navigate to the target instance where you want to import the data.
  • Use the ‘Import data’ option available in the menu and upload the exported file.
  • Confirm the import to ensure the data is correctly loaded into the workspace.
