# Export Data From Zoho Books

If you want to transfer the data from Zoho Books to your computer, you can either export the data from a particular module, or create an export template to export specific data. To do this:

*   Select the module from which you want to export data.
    
*   In the module’s list page, click the _More_ icon in the top right corner and select the **Export** option from the dropdown.
    
*   In the pop-up that appears, fill in the following fields:
    
    *   **Module:** Select the module from which you want to export data.
    *   **Select Status:** Export transactions based on their statuses. For example, if you choose **Draft**, all the transactions in the _Draft_ status will be exported.
    *   **Date Range:** If you want to export transactions based on a specified date range, select the required start and end dates.
    *   **Export Template:** Choose the export template with which you want to export data. If you don’t have one, click **\+ New Template** from the dropdown. In the _New Export Template_ pop-up, fill in the following fields:
        *   **Template Name:** Enter the name of the template.
        *   Choose the fields which you want to appear in the export file. Click **\+ Add a New Field** to include additional fields in the template.

The data will be exported from Zoho Books.

**Note:** You can only export the first 25,000 rows of data from Zoho Books. If you’ve recorded data more than this limit, you must initiate a [backup of your data](/books/help/import-export/backup-your-data.html).
