New CSV Export Feature

You can now backup your projects, tasks, clients, invoices and estimates. The CSV export feature allows you to backup your data, which is very important, but also export to other applications that you might want to use with Bubble.
Just click on the Export button at the bottom of the page and a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file will be generated. The columns are saved at the top of the file with each record separated by a new line. If you are importing the data in to another application then you will need to know the column names.
An import facility for clients and contacts will be coming soon also.
Note: The export facility is quite basic at the moment. If you want the data formatted differently or would like to request changes to the way the data is produced please use the contact link or Feedback Tab to get in touch with us.

This is a great addition, much appreciated!
Is an importing feature (clients/contacts and/or projects/tasks) on your to-do list? I'm sure that's a big job, but that would help make it easier for people to switch to Project Bubble from other services, especially importing contacts.

Thanks guys. Yes an import for clients and contacts is coming very soon, hopefully next week. It's just a little bit more complicated that's all :-)

Could this feature not also be added as an import.
My team also need the same contacts and we are having to add them every time a new team member comes in.

I couldn't replicate this Borja, you'll have to email me with the exact details and also a copy of the CSV. I just tried exporting a project with your name as the title and it worked ok. Check the import isn't doing something funny?

Sorry for being so late in the reply. (plenty of work)
I tested again, and I have the bug in the same way, but I realized it was something more related to the excell application when I was opening it. (sorry)
Opening the csv with notepad its working ok.
Sorry for this stupid alarm.... ;)
