# Import and export

Bring data into a grid from CSV or Excel files, and export any grid back to Excel.

## Import

Click **Import** in the top bar and upload a CSV or Excel file. QX detects the columns, you tick the ones you want, and the rows load in the background. Imported data lands as manual columns, ready for enrichment columns alongside. You can also start a new grid straight from a file, see [Create a grid](/grids/create-a-grid).

## Export

Click **Export** to download the grid as an Excel file. **Export (Default)** takes everything as is, and **Customize Export** lets you pick which sheets and columns to include, and whether cells export as formatted display values or raw values for use in other systems.

## Share instead

If teammates should see live data rather than a snapshot, share the grid from its **Share** dialog. Shared and public grids stay up to date, and public grid pages are read-only.
