Export everything
One click gives you a zip of your whole workspace. Any day, no fee.
Built. Owner only.
How
- Sign in as the owner and open Export.
- Press Export everything. It takes about a minute, and the screen shows the table it is on.
- Press Download zip when it is ready.
A double click, a second tab or a retry after a lost answer joins the same export instead of making another.
What is in the zip
| File | What it holds |
|---|---|
csv/<table>.csv | One file per table, header row first, UTF-8, comma separated, every row your workspace owns. Empty cells are NULL. |
lockstock.sql | The same rows as INSERT statements in one transaction. Data only: make the tables from the schema notes first. |
manifest.json | The row count of every table, checked against the database when the file was made. |
README.md | Schema notes, the rules above, and what was left out and why. |
The tables are read from the database's own schema when you export, so a table added later is included with no change. Cost tables are included because the owner makes the export.
What is left out
Columns that are secrets never leave the database: sealed tokens (QuickBooks, Shopify), token fingerprints and storage keys. The README lists each one that was dropped. Lockstock's own built-in unit rows, which belong to no workspace, are not exported.
Limits
- The download link and the stored file last one hour. After that, export again for a fresh one.
- A zip over 25 MB is refused by the demo's storage, and the job says so. The sample workspace is far under that.
- If a table cannot be read, the export fails and names the table. Nothing partial is offered.
- Your books stay in QuickBooks, so they are not part of the zip.
You can also reach the same job without the screen. POST /api/export starts it (JSON body with a requestId), GET /api/export returns the latest job and GET /api/export/{id}/download redirects to the signed zip link. All three need your signed-in session.
