> Select the leads you want, press the export shortcut, and download a CSV with scores, signals, and any stored contact fields.

The CSV export takes whatever you have selected in the lead list and downloads it as a spreadsheet. It is the fastest way to hand a batch of scored leads to someone who does not use Embers.

> Exporting requires Solo or above. Free can see the lead list, but neither the priority queue nor the download is available on it.

## Export a selection

### Filter the list first

Open the lead list and narrow it with the tab and filters until it holds what you want. The export follows your selection, and your selection follows the filters, so the filtering is the real work.

### Select the leads

There are three scopes:

- **Individual rows.** Tick the rows you want. The bar above the table counts them.
- **The current page.** Tick the header checkbox. With nothing ticked at all, exporting falls back to the page you are looking at.
- **Everything matching.** The selection bar offers to select every lead matching your current filters, not just the page.

Selecting everything matching is capped at **5000 leads**. Above that, Embers selects the first 5000 and tells you so. Narrow the filters and run two exports rather than assuming you got the lot.

### Export

Choose **Export** in the selection bar, or press `Cmd` + `E` on a Mac, `Ctrl` + `E` on Windows and Linux. The shortcut does not fire while you are typing in a field.

Large selections are fetched in batches of 100 and stitched into one file before the download starts, so a few thousand rows take a moment.

## Every column in the file

The file is UTF-8 with a byte order mark, so accented names open correctly in Excel.

| Column | What it contains |
| --- | --- |
| Name | The full name as LinkedIn shows it |
| First Name | Present only when the split name setting is on |
| Last Name | Present only when the split name setting is on |
| Title | Current role |
| Company | Current employer |
| Industry | Industry on the profile |
| Location | Location on the profile |
| LinkedIn URL | The public profile URL |
| Score | The composite score, rounded, 0 to 100 |
| Grade | Derived from the score: A at 80, B at 60, C at 40, D at 20, else F |
| ICP Match | The ICP verdict, including a manual override when you set one |
| ICP Confidence | Confidence as a percentage. Blank when there is no verdict |
| Trend | Whether the lead is rising, steady, or cooling |
| Engagements | Total engagement count |
| Last Engaged | Date of the most recent engagement |
| First Seen | Date Embers first saw this person |
| Status | Pipeline status. Defaults to active |
| Top Signals | Every signal, joined with a pipe. Not just the first |
| Email | Stored email, blank when none is stored |
| Phone | Stored phone, blank when none is stored |
| Contact Enriched At | When the contact details were found |
| Contact Source | Where they came from |
| Contact Confidence | `safe`, `verified`, or `risky` |
| Contact Included | `true` only when a stored email or phone exists |

First Name and Last Name appear only when **Split name into First / Last columns** is turned on in your settings. Leave it off and you get a single Name column.

## What Embers does behind the button

Contact columns carry only what Embers has already stored. Exporting never triggers a fresh lookup, so a blank Email is a lead nobody has enriched yet rather than a lead with no email. See [Lead enrichment and contact info](/help/outreach/lead-enrichment-and-contact-info/).

Text cells that begin with `=`, `+`, `-`, or `@` are prefixed with an apostrophe. Spreadsheets treat those characters as the start of a formula, and a name or a comment should never execute when someone opens the file.

Filenames tell you the scope: a page export, a selection with its count, or a matching export, each stamped with the date.

## Troubleshooting

**Fewer rows than expected.** Either the 5000 row cap on select all, or rows that no longer match the filters by the time the export ran. Refresh the list and try again.

**Nothing downloads.** A selection of zero with a stale page produces nothing. Tick at least one row.

**The shortcut does nothing.** Focus is in a text field, or the account is on Free. Click the table first, then retry.
