Export your data
Your work should not be held hostage by the interface. Tarsen exports a workspace as JSON or its cards as CSV, in open formats, from Workspace → Integrations.
Download an export
Open Integrations
In the app, open Workspace → Integrations. The import and export tools live together so the path into Tarsen and the path out of it are equally clear.
Choose a format
Use Workspace as JSON for a complete structured export, or Cards as CSV for a flat spreadsheet-friendly file.
Keep the downloaded file
The browser downloads a file named for your workspace. Store it with your project archive or use it as the input to another workflow.
JSON or CSV?
| Format | Use it when | Shape |
|---|---|---|
| JSON | You need the workspace structure, an archive, or a future import | Projects, lists, cards, labels, members, and related work |
| CSV | You need a spreadsheet, a report, or a flat card handoff | One row per card with columns suitable for a spreadsheet |
The JSON export preserves the relationships that make the board useful. The CSV is intentionally flatter: it is easier to open and filter, but it is not a replacement for the structured archive.
Use an export as a handoff
- Archive a completed client project before you close it.
- Give a teammate a card list for a review or planning session.
- Keep a backup before a large workflow change.
- Move a project between tools without rebuilding every card by hand.
- Verify that a trial stays reversible before inviting the whole team.
Coming back in
A Tarsen CSV export can come back through the importer. Trello JSON exports can come in through the same screen, with a preview before anything is created. Importing always creates a new project so existing work is not silently overwritten.
Exports do not make private work public. Keep downloaded files in the same place you would keep any workspace backup, especially when they contain client or personal information.
