Exporting
Last modified: November 4, 2025
This feature is only available to Rowboat+ and Desktop users.
Export file
To export a file in Rowboat+, click the export button in the left-hand sidebar.
To export a file in Rowboat Desktop, click "File" in the menu bar, then select "Save As..." from the dropdown.
The options for exporting are:
- Separator: commas or tabs
- Include hidden rows. Rows that are hidden are excluded from the export by default. This option lets you include them.
- Include hidden columns. Columns that are hidden are excluded from the export by default. This option lets you include them.
- Compress with gzip. Using gzip provides a more compact file with very little overhead for compression/decompression time.
Note that all files are saved in UTF-8 format, regardless of their original format.
