# Exporting Contacts

The **Exports** tab lets you download the contact or order data you’ve uploaded to **Open Letter Connect**. Each export creates a downloadable `.csv` file that includes all the records you selected, making it easy to back up, review, or import your data into another system.

#### How to Export Contacts

1. Log in to your **Open Letter Connect** account.
2. From the left-hand menu, go to **Settings → Exports**.<br>

4. Find your export in the list and click the filename under **Export List** to download your `.csv` file.
   * Example: `contacts(live mode)_Oct_27_2025.csv`
5. The file will automatically download to your computer.

**Where to add images:**

* Screenshot of the Exports page (like the one you uploaded).

#### Export Types

You can export:

* **Contacts:** A list of all contact data you’ve uploaded, including names, addresses, and custom fields.
* **Orders:** A list of all mail orders and campaign records.

Each export will include only the information available to your user account and organization.

#### Common Use Cases

* Backing up your full contact list.
