Export data
Note:Exporting data is not available in Insights in ArcGIS Enterprise deployments using ArcGIS Enterprise 10.7 or earlier. For more information about supported ArcGIS Enterprise versions, see Compatibility with ArcGIS Enterprise.
Exporting data allows you to save your Insights datasets outside of Insights in commonly used file formats. Exported data can be shared with colleagues or used in other products, such as ArcGIS Pro or Microsoft Excel.
Only feature layers can be exported. You can export data from a feature layer if one of the following is true:
- You own the features.
- You have administrator privileges.
- You are not the feature layer owner or the administrator, but the owner or administrator has shared the dataset with you and configured the dataset to allow others to export the data.
Note:Exporting data is disabled for feature layers that are accessed through a distributed collaboration.

Export formats
Feature layers can be exported to the following formats:

- Comma-separated values (CSV) files (.zip)
- GeoJSON (.zip)
Feature services with multiple layers
A feature service can contain multiple feature layers. If a dataset with multiple layers is exported to a CSV file or GeoJSON, each layer will appear in a separate file and the collection will be saved in a compressed folder.
If a feature service is owned by another member of your organization, Allow others to export to different formats must be set on each feature layer that you want to export. Only the feature layers with export enabled will be included in the exported file.
