3. Select the view you wish to export: Airtable allows you to export data from specific views. Ensure you are in the view that showcases the data you want to download.


4. Click on the 'Download CSV' option: In the upper right corner of your screen, click on the '...' to reveal more options. From the dropdown menu, select 'Download CSV'. Your data will be downloaded as a CSV file.
