Use this interactive demo to learn how to back up your Softr app data.

‍

This is a step-by-step guide on how to back up Softr data:

‍

In the Apps editor, navigate to the left sidebar and click 'Databases.'
Select the database you want to back up.
Now, select the table you want to back up.
Once selected, click the 'Table name.'‍
Click 'Export to CSV' to download your data as CSV, enabling seamless integration with other tools in your workflow.

📌 Why this matters

Backing up your data protects against accidental deletions, corrupted records, and platform outages that could wipe out months of work. Beyond basic protection, exporting to CSV creates a portable snapshot you can analyze in spreadsheets, import into other platforms, or use for compliance reporting.

This becomes especially valuable when migrating between tools or when clients request raw data exports. Regular backups also let you experiment freely with your database structure, knowing you can always revert to a clean version if changes break your application.
