Exports & Bulk Import

Get your data out as PDF or CSV, export a session's action log, and bulk-import components from a spreadsheet.

Exports & Bulk Import

Your data isn't locked in. You can export your component list for manufacturing or reference, pull a session's full action log into a spreadsheet, and bulk-create components from a CSV. This guide covers all the ways data moves in and out.

Component List Exports (Pro)

From a project page you can export your whole component catalog two ways:

  • PDF, a bill of materials. A formatted list of every component with quantities and costs. Great for printing an in-person reference, sending to a manufacturer or co-designer, or archiving a snapshot of the project. Use the Export PDF button on the project page.
  • CSV, component data. The same catalog as a spreadsheet, for your own analysis in Excel or Google Sheets.

Note

PDF and CSV exports are a Pro feature. See Plans & Pricing.

Session Data Exports

Each logged playtest has its own export. Open a session from the Playtests tab and export its action log as CSV or JSON, every move, draw, roll, and flip with timestamps, for digging into how a game actually played out. See Playtest Sessions & Feedback.

Bulk Import & CSV Template

Building a big deck or a long component list is far faster from a spreadsheet than one piece at a time.

  1. On the Components tab, download the CSV template for the component type you're creating. It has the right columns already.
  2. Fill it in with your rows in any spreadsheet app.
  3. Upload it, and Designer Den creates a component for each row at once.

Tip

Already keep your data in Dextrous? Sync it directly instead of exporting and re-importing by hand.
