Data Export
Export all of your data at any time. No lock-in, no friction.
What You Can Export
| Export | Format | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| Projects & Items | JSON | All projects, items, tags, chapters, versions, license keys, promo codes, and blog posts |
| Sales | CSV | Date, item, amount, status, and buyer email for every sale |
| Purchases | CSV | Date, item, amount, and status for everything you have bought |
| Followers & Members | CSV | Usernames, display names, types, status, and membership dates |
| Content Files | ZIP | All uploaded files (audio, video, covers, versions, dynamic clips) with a manifest |
How to Export
- Go to Settings > Data
- Choose the export type
- Click “Export”
JSON and CSV exports download immediately. Content file exports are assembled into a ZIP archive and provided as a temporary download link (valid for one hour).
Content File Export
You get exactly the same quality fans receive. If any server-side processing occurred (e.g., format conversion), the export contains the processed version. Keep your own lossless backups if original quality matters.
The export includes a README.txt manifest listing every file and its original context.
Limits:
- Maximum 500 files per export
- Maximum 2 GB total size
If you have more content than these limits allow, export in batches by project.
Git repositories are not included in the content file export. Clone them separately:
git clone https://makenot.work/source/<username>/<repo>.git
Export Format Details
Projects JSON
A single JSON file containing a complete snapshot: projects with metadata, items with all fields (pricing, visibility, tags, chapters, versions), blog posts with full Markdown, license keys, and promo codes. Parseable with any JSON tool.
CSV Exports
CSV files use standard comma-separated format with a header row.
Platform Portability
If you leave, you take everything: content files, metadata, sales history, and audience data.
