Send or schedule workbook exports

If you want to export or download your workbook contents outside of Sigma, you can choose from a variety of methods, formats, and destinations:

  • Download workbook data on demand.
  • Schedule an export to one or more destinations.
  • Send a scheduled export on demand.

You can export any of the following:

  • An entire workbook
  • A single page of a workbook
  • A specific element of a workbook

When you export to destinations such as email, Slack, or others, the latest published version of the workbook is exported. Depending on the destination and file format you choose, you can also export a bookmark or a tagged version. While editing a workbook, you can download the current draft workbook, page, or element.

Available export destinations and formats

Depending on what you want to export and where you want to send it, different data formats are available:

When executing a scheduled export or direct download to PDF or PNG formats, Sigma may store applicable control values as URL parameters in trace logs used for debugging and troubleshooting purposes. Exercise caution when exporting or downloading workbook content that uses controls to filter sensitive data.

File size limits apply to the various exports. See Download and export limitations.

Raw data formats are unsupported if you export a bookmark of a workbook.

Manage scheduled exports

You can manage scheduled exports in different ways:
