Overview
You can export your ideas and their associated data as a CSV directly from the Ideas dashboard. The export reflects the sort order, filters, and fields configured for the view you export from. This is useful for sharing feedback trends with stakeholders, doing offline analysis, or keeping external records of prioritized ideas.
Canny Ideas is available on Free, Core, Pro, and Business plans. Teams on legacy plans (Starter or Growth) will need to move to new plans to access Ideas.
How to export
Go to the Ideas dashboard.
Select a view (e.g. Triage, Backlog, Roadmap).
Right-click the view name in the left sidebar.
Click Export view.
The CSV downloads automatically.
What's included in the export
The export includes all data visible in the selected view:
Idea title and description
Status
Group and sub-group
Insight count, User count, and Company count
Score fields and formula field values
Any custom fields that are visible in the view
Owner and created date
Fields that are hidden in the view will not appear in the export.
Things to note
Ideas exports are limited to 10,000 records at a time. If you need a larger export, reach out to Canny support so we can track the request.
The export is a point-in-time snapshot — it does not update after download.
The export reflects the view's current sort and filters — set up the view before exporting to get the data you need.
Insight detail (e.g., individual insight notes or source URLs) is not included in the export. Only aggregate counts are exported.
