  • Contact support if still not received
Only one export can be in progress at a time. Wait for your current export to complete (check your email) or contact support to cancel it.
  • Ensure you’ve fully downloaded the ZIP file
  • Extract the ZIP file first (don’t open directly)

  • For HTML: Open with any web browser or import into browser bookmarks
  • For JSON: Open with a text editor or JSON viewer

  1. Verify — Open the file to ensure all bookmarks are included
  2. Backup — Store in a secure location
  3. Import — Use HTML format to import into other browsers/tools
  4. Analyze — Use CSV format for custom analysis
