Export And Share Ui

Export and share are extremely high-value features. Most products under-invest here.

Format options

CSV (data dump). PDF (formatted report). XLSX (advanced users). JSON (developers). Pick 2-3, not 10.

Share patterns

Share via link (generates view-only URL). Share via email (sends to recipient list). Share via embedded export (PDF / image).

Permissions

Public / private / org-only. Expiry options (24 hours / 7 days / never).

Async exports

Large exports (1000+ rows): background job + email when ready. Don't block the UI.

Common mistakes

Only one export format. No permission controls. Synchronous export of huge datasets (browser hangs). No record of what was shared with whom.
