The free Adalo plan comes with 50 free records that you can download as CSV. * Each collection has to be downloaded separately - the option to download all your collections at once is currently not available. Please raise a [feature request](https://ideas.adalo.com/feature-requests) or upvote one and you will be informed as we make progress on the same. * If you have over 100K records in a collection and the export CSV option is taking time to complete, please [submit a support ticket.](https://info.adalo.com/submit-a-support-ticket) * In a many-to-one or many-to-many relationship, details from the "Many" side won't appear in the CSV file. ## Walkthrough When you want to export your data as a CSV file, follow the steps below: 1. Go to your app and using the left panel, select the Database tab. 2. From there, select the collection that you wish to export and click the "\ records" button to open the collection in a modal. 3.
