Export

| Button | What you get |
|---|---|
| Excel | A spreadsheet of the selected trees, one row per tree, in the column order chosen under Export settings. |
| Quote PRO | A quote spreadsheet for the selected trees. Each ticked SOR item gets its own row. |
| Maps | The site plans with pins and drawings. |
| Photos and maps | A zip of photos named with your file name pattern, plus maps. Pro can stamp the name on each photo. |
| Full export | The whole project (settings, tree data, maps and photos) as a zip. Tree selection is ignored. This is your backup. |
The file is shared with your phone’s share sheet, so you can save it to Files or Drive, or email it.
Your survey data lives only on your phone. Make a Full export regularly and keep it somewhere safe. Uninstalling the app or losing the phone can lose data that has not been exported.

- Simple archive keeps settings, tree data and maps, and leaves photos out to save space.
- Open Archives on the Projects screen and tap Restore to bring a project back.
