**Settings → Account → Download everything** saves one JSON file holding every record you
own: Me with its roles, highlights, notes, projects and recorded transfers; your resumes and
letters; the whole pipeline with its timeline, tasks, offers, interview rounds, question bank,
referrals, tags and saved views. Over MCP it is `export_everything`. Archived companies,
people and applications are in the file too, marked as archived, so a restore puts them back
in the bin rather than on the board.

Handing the file back to `import_everything`, over a connected assistant, restores it.
There is no Restore button in the app, deliberately: an assistant can dry-run the file first
and read the report back, and a file picker cannot show you what 1,400 records are about to
do to a workspace you have already started. The import is matched by natural key: a role by
employer and title, a company by name, a job by employer and role, an interview by its job
and round. So it adds what is missing and
never overwrites what is there, and importing the same file twice does nothing the second
time. Run it with `dry_run` first on any file you did not write yourself; the report is the
same, and nothing is written.

## What is deliberately not in the file

| Left out | Why |
| --- | --- |
| Connection URLs and their tokens | A connection URL is a credential with full read and write over your workspace. A backup file people email around must not carry one. |
| Linked mail and calendar accounts | They hold app passwords and refresh tokens. |
| Published resume and pipeline links | Those are live public addresses. Copying one into a second workspace would either collide or republish your resume at an address somebody else thinks is theirs. |
| The review queue | A proposal is a question waiting for an answer, not a record of anything. |
| Attachments | Their bytes would dwarf the file. `pg_dump` is the backup that carries them. |
| Your profile photo | A data URI nobody restores from a backup, and it would dwarf the rest of the file. |
| Version history, the change log, built-in assistant conversations | A restore starts its own. |

The export itself lists what it left out, so a file found in six months says so too.

## Spreadsheets

The three CRM lists — companies, people, applications — export as CSV from the **Export**
button on each list, or with `export_csv`, which takes the same filters, search and sort as
the list it comes from. Those are for reading in a spreadsheet; the JSON file is the one that
comes back in.
