Exporting Boards

Export boards to CSV, Trello® JSON, WeKan® JSON, or Atlantisboard JSON with configurable columns and embedded attachments.

Exporting Boards

Atlantisboard supports exporting your board data in multiple formats — whether you need a spreadsheet for reporting, a file for migrating to another tool, or a full backup with attachments.

Export options

Export Formats

Four export formats are available, each gated by a role permission:

CSV

Permission: export.board.csv

Exports card data in a standard comma-separated values file suitable for spreadsheets, data analysis, or integration with other tools.

Configurable columns:

Column Description
Title Card title
Description Card description (plain text)
List The list/column the card belongs to
Labels Comma-separated label names
Assignees Comma-separated assignee names
Due date Card due date
Start date Card start date
Completed Whether the card is marked complete
Created Card creation timestamp
Updated Card last-modified timestamp

You can select which columns to include before exporting, tailoring the output to your specific needs.

Trello® JSON

Permission: export.board.trello

Exports the board in a Trello®-compatible JSON format. This file can be imported into Trello® or any other tool that supports the Trello® export format.

Includes:

  • Board name and description
  • Lists with positions
  • Cards with titles, descriptions, positions, due dates
  • Labels
  • Checklists and checklist items
  • Comments

WeKan® JSON

Permission: export.board.wekan

Exports the board in a WeKan®-compatible JSON format, suitable for importing into WeKan® instances.

Includes:

  • Board structure and metadata
  • Lists (mapped to WeKan®’s list format)
  • Cards with all standard fields
  • Labels
  • Checklists
  • Comments

Atlantisboard JSON

Permission: export.board.atlantisboard

The native export format that preserves complete board data with maximum fidelity. This is the best choice for backups and transfers between Atlantisboard instances.

Includes:

  • Complete board settings and metadata
  • All lists, cards, labels, and checklists
  • Comments and activity history
  • Card attachments embedded as data URLs (up to 25 MB total embedded attachment size)
  • User references and role assignments

Note: The 25 MB embedded attachment limit is a per-export cap. If your board’s total attachment size exceeds this, larger attachments are excluded from the export with a reference note. For full backup including all attachments regardless of size, use the Backup & Restore system instead.

Export Flow

From the Home Page

  1. Right-click a board tile (or click its three-dot menu) to open the board context menu.
  2. Select Export board.
  3. Choose the export format.
  4. (For CSV) Optionally configure which columns to include.
  5. The file downloads automatically.

From the Import/Export Modal

  1. Open the Import/Export modal from the home page.
  2. Switch to the Export tab.
  3. Select the board to export (if not already selected).

Download Behaviour

Export files are served with the Content-Disposition: attachment header, triggering a browser download. File naming follows the pattern:

  • board-name-export.csv
  • board-name-export.json (with format-specific content)

Permissions Summary

Format Required Permission
CSV export.board.csv
Trello® JSON export.board.trello
WeKan® JSON export.board.wekan

If you don’t see an export option, your current role may not include the corresponding permission. Contact your board or app administrator to request access.
