## Large Exports

### Handling Large Data Sets

For large exports:

| Size                 | Approach           |
| -------------------- | ------------------ |
| **\< 10,000 rows**   | Direct download    |
| **10,000 - 100,000** | May take longer    |
| **> 100,000**        | Consider filtering |

### Tips for Large Exports

1. **Filter first** - Export only what you need
2. **Wait for completion** - Don't navigate away during export
3. **Check file** - Verify all data exported correctly
