# Export Raw Data

Every widget's standard **Export CSV** covers most needs, but it's capped at 3,000 rows. When you need the full result set behind a widget — up to 1,000,000 rows — use **Export Raw CSV** instead.

***

### How it works

Export Raw runs asynchronously: instead of downloading immediately, CorralData generates the file in the background and notifies you when it's ready. This is what makes it possible to pull far more data than a normal export — the query isn't held open in your browser while it runs.

{% hint style="info" %}
If a widget's result set is larger than the standard export can handle, CorralData will route that export through Export Raw automatically.
{% endhint %}

***

### Exporting

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### **Open the widget menu**

Click the **⋮** menu in the top corner of any widget.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### **Select Export Raw CSV**

The export starts running in the background — you can keep working while it generates.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### **Check your notifications**

You'll get a notification when the file is ready to download.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you don't see the notification right away, try refreshing the page — it may already be waiting for you in the notification panel.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

***

### Where this fits

* Use the regular **Export CSV** for anything under 3,000 rows — it's instant, with no need to wait for a notification.
* See View a Widget Query if what you actually need is the SQL behind a widget, not the exported data itself.

## 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.corraldata.com/kb/explore-your-data/export-raw-data.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.
