You can **export** the information of Items, Departments and Price Levels in an external file in **CSV format**, or export them in an external file in **EXCEL** or **SQL format**, if you want to change it and import it later. It is recommended to use the **Backup process** if you want to get a copy of the entire **database**, including sales and consecutive document numbers.

When you want to export data to a **CSV, EXCEL or SQL file**, you will be asked which file you want to export. Tap the **Browse** button to select the path where you want to save the exported file.
