# Export to other environments

Redivis workflows contain powerful tools to reshape and analyze data but if you prefer to export data into a different workflow you can easily do so. Redivis systems use open source tools and common formats to make the transition as easy as possible.

## 1. Check export restrictions

Some datasets on Redivis have export restrictions which prohibit or limit removing data from the system.

You can check this by going to the dataset page and selecting **Manage access**, or by right-clicking on a dataset in a workflow and selecting the **View access** option.

<div data-with-frame="true"><img src="https://1672950126-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LVodLwUXgJUGcm5Cvso%2Fuploads%2Fx2jrA0QVXLVBN6bi6nQ8%2Fredivis-staging.com_Demo_admin_members_membersList-workflows%3D16657.GHCN%2520Workflow%2C10880.Demo%2520workflow1%2C5709.notebook_perf_test%2C16440.Demo%2520Weather%2520Workflow%2C16279.GHCN%2520Example%2520Workflow%2C15858.Temperature%2520trends%2520analysis%2520-%25%20(3).png?alt=media&amp;token=09cf6be8-0a3f-4e26-9bf1-1752819ea6dd" alt=""></div>

The bottom section of this access modal defines any export restrictions in place. It may not have any restrictions, may be completely restricted, or may have some limited options for export.

If there are limited options for export, this section will detail the available locations and any restrictions on using those, such as the size of the table being exported. These restrictions are enforced automatically when you try to take actions within the system.

If there are no options for export, you still have the option to work with your data in a Redivis workflow, where you can reshape and clean your data using transforms and analyze it in notebooks.

*Learn more in the* [*Work with data in a workflow*](/guides/analyze-data-in-a-workflow.md) *guide.*

## 2. Prepare your data

If you would like to export the entire table, you can skip this step.

Otherwise, we recommend that you use transforms to cut your data down to a smaller size and reshape it into the table format you need for analysis before exporting it. Redivis tools are created to work with large tables quickly and seamlessly in your browser with no additional setup.

*Learn more in the* [*Reshape tables in transform*](/guides/analyze-data-in-a-workflow/reshape-data-in-transforms.md) *guide.*

## 3. Export data

You can open the Export modal to initiate an export from any table. You can do this on the dataset page by right clicking a table and selecting the **Export** menu option, or by right clicking on any table in a workflow and selecting the same option.

You can see all the options available for your table to export in this modal.

<div data-with-frame="true"><img src="https://1672950126-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LVodLwUXgJUGcm5Cvso%2Fuploads%2Fd3uOKqtRRTb9cvMAQmVA%2Fredivis-staging.com_Demo_admin_members_membersList-workflows%3D16657.GHCN%2520Workflow%2C10880.Demo%2520workflow1%2C5709.notebook_perf_test%2C16440.Demo%2520Weather%2520Workflow%2C16279.GHCN%2520Example%2520Workflow%2C15858.Temperature%2520trends%2520analysis%2520-%25%20(5).png?alt=media&amp;token=cee85778-3db9-4106-bdd9-7a4e19ce7283" alt=""></div>

If your table has export restrictions set by the data owner, some options will be disabled here. If your table does not meet export requirements, but the data owner allows exception requests, you will see the option to request and exception here.

**Download**

The first tab of this modal gives different format option to download your data. Most common data formats are supported, including `csv`, `json`, `avro`, `parquet`, `SAS`, `Stata`, and `SPSS`. Choose the format you'd like and select **Download** to start downloading the file.

*Learn more in the* [*Downloads*](/reference/tables/exporting-tables/download.md) reference sectio&#x6E;*.*

**Programmatic reference**

You can reference this file from your computer or another computational environment using the Redivis Python and R libraries. This modal gives specific information on how to reference your dataset. You can also reference our docs for other options.

[Redivis-r library](/api/client-libraries/redivis-r/reference/redivis.md)

**Integrations: Google Looker Studio**

This is a free Google dashboard visualization program you can directly link your table to. Use their point and click interface to build common visuals that will update as the underlying table updates.

*Learn more in the* [*Google Looker Studio*](/reference/tables/exporting-tables/google-data-studio.md) reference sectio&#x6E;*.*

**Integrations: Google Cloud Storage**

You can export your table directly into a Google Cloud Storage bucket.

*Learn more in the* [*Google Cloud Storage*](/reference/tables/exporting-tables/google-cloud-storage.md) reference sectio&#x6E;*.*

**Integrations: Google BigQuery**

You can export your table directly into a Google BigQuery project.

#### Cite datasets in your publications

If the work you're doing leads to a publication, check for proper [citation information](/redivis-for-open-science/citations.md) on the reference pages of the datasets used in your workflow.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.redivis.com/guides/export-and-publish-your-work/export-to-other-environments.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
