Select the relevant Test activities from the list and click **Export.**![](https://cdn.document360.io/f404076c-de23-4609-848e-2dfd4ef701b0/Images/Documentation/image-1722539307153.png) 3. Depending on your export request, you will either be able to download the file immediately, or you will be able to track the status of your request by clicking on the **Request Status** icon ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f404076c-de23-4609-848e-2dfd4ef701b0/Images/Documentation/image-1638897446242.png) at the top right corner of the screen. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f404076c-de23-4609-848e-2dfd4ef701b0/Images/Documentation/Request%20Status.png) We will also notify you via email once your request is complete. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f404076c-de23-4609-848e-2dfd4ef701b0/Images/Documentation/image-1722539421576.png) --- ## Export using the **Test Tree** 1. **From within a Project**, hover over the **Tests tab** and select **Test Tree.** 2. **Right-click** any level in the tree - Project, Cycle, Folder, or Business Process and select **Export.** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f404076c-de23-4609-848e-2dfd4ef701b0/Images/Documentation/image-1722539519695.png) ## **Export Types** You can then select between the following export options - ### **Steps** Select this option to export all step data to an Excel spreadsheet. The test results are from the last run of each step. Use this option for deeper test analysis and reporting. The output is an Excel spreadsheet where each row represents a Test Step. The export includes [step dependencies](/v1/docs/step-dependencies) (optional). ### **Test Evidence** Select this option to export all step data and **test evidence for the last run of each step** in MS Word or PDF formats. This option is helpful if you need to store test results for auditing purposes. [If you wish to export a single Test, click here](/v1/docs/exporting-a-single-test-evidence). The test evidence will be included in the archived file, referencing the Evidence File column. You can export a **single compiled file** per test where all steps are merged or export **each step as a separate file**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f404076c-de23-4609-848e-2dfd4ef701b0/Images/Documentation/image-1722539581261.png) ### **Quick Tests Scripts** Select this option to export all test scripts of Quick Tests. Use this option to generate business process documentation or user training documents. --- **Good to Know!** - Comments posted in the Comments tab will not appear in the exported Tests. - The resulting files from the above export should not be used to import tests to another project. For importing tests into a project, [please see the following article](/v1/docs/test-import). - **Date and time fields** in **exported files** are shown in **UTC**. However, in Panaya, the same fields are shown in your **local time zone**, so an exported time field such as “Tested On” may not match what you see on screen in Panaya. *Example: a step tested at 09:40 New York time (UTC−4) appears as 13:40 (UTC) in the export evidence file.* - When a test is executed with the new Video-First Recorder, Panaya captures raw video streams for each step instead of generating individual screenshots. There is no standard Word/PDF evidence document directly from a video file. The solution here will be to use [Smart Report](https://success.panaya.com/docs/video-recording?highlight=smart%20re#smart-report). - Video evidence can't be included in a mass export file. Before exporting video evidence, convert it to PDF using [Generate Smart Report](https://success.panaya.com/docs/video-recording?highlight=smart%20re#smart-report). ## Related - [Exporting Test and Step Attachments](/how-to-export-test-and-step-attachments.md) - [Mass Edit Tests via Export and Import](/how-to-mass-update-tests-and-steps-using-an-excel-template.md)
