# Export Archive Search Results

Set criteria to find target archived records in the Archive app and export the search results. You can download these search results as a CSV file.

2. Click the Settings icon and select **Export Search Results**.
    
    You can export up to 2 million records.
    
    ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-setup-264-0-0-production-enus/6f21df35-9ea0-4f53-ac94-45c3b5dfd5bc/images/icon_note.png)
    
    Note A success message appears, acknowledging the export request. There may be a delay before the job appears as active in Archive Activities. The length of this delay depends on the number of records being exported. The process can take up to 30 minutes to complete, depending on the number of requests in the system.
3. Download the exported file from the Activities tab.
4. To repeat or retry the download, click the link in the Activities tab.
