FAQs
I'm not seeing an export option in my ••• menu. What's the deal?
Export might be turned off for your workspace. Admins can turn off this option in the
Security & SAML tab of Settings & Members to keep workspace data internal. The download window told me it would send me an email with the zip file, but I didn't receive one?
If a file is very large (depending on the number of sub-pages included), we may send you an email with a download link rather than automatically starting a download. This is not always the case. No email will be sent if you were able to download the file right away.
