Home > Lists > How to Use Lists > Exporting Lists and Items
You can export lists or list items to a file. When you export an entire list, the structure is kept exactly as it appears in the Lists panel or popover, including any sublists. You can export many lists to the same file. Exported lists get the file extension .lists.
When you export individual list items, the items will be listed in the exported file with no structure from the original list preserved. This means that if you export all the list items from a list with sublists, you will be unable to see which sublist the individual items belonged to. Exported list item files get the extension .lst.
