Hey...how do I download/export only selected rows from a list? I only see "Download view as CSV" which gives me the entire table...I only want to download a portion of the table/list into a CSV.

    Hey hey! Can you drop the URL for your table here? (if applicable) 🫶 Don't worry, only admins will be able to open your table 😉

    Hey, thanks for reaching out! To download a specific number of rows it's best to create a new view and apply the filters to only show those rows, then download that view.

    This is a tough one, where did you originally source those leads? Since tables are like single spreadsheets, the data doesn't get duplicated if you add a view, it just filters the existing values :/And we have an 'undo' feature yet; when you delete rows, there is an option that appears for a moment at the bottom of the table

    So, you're saying I lost those other targets?!?!

    Let me ask if the dev team could help us recover those values by any chance.

    I appreciate it, but, I gotta say...Clay hasn't been very impressive to me thus far. It's just not very intuitive or user-friendly. I mean, I feel like I need to be an expert to navigate and, really, just do the things I need to do. I'm definitely no expert, and it's been very frustrating to me.

    Totally understandable, Phil! We know the learning curve is steep for tools like ours, and that some technical knowledge around spreadsheet-like interfaces (among a few other things) may help quite a bit. The team actively works on improvements to make that process smoother over time; hopefully, onboarding will be a lot easier and straightforward very soon! ...still checking with the team about those records

    I appreciate the acknowledgment. Just has to be an understanding that not everyone is going to be expert level on spreadsheets coming in. Really hopeful you all can recover those records. Would be a big, big loss.

    Just a heads up - even if we are not able to recover the rows we'll refund the credits here cc Arturo O.
