Data Export
From Settings, export your account's plants, completed cycles, measurement tables, tasks, and care history as a CSV archive, a JSON file, or a printable PDF report — built entirely client-side, with no per-plant filter and no plan restriction.
How to do this in GrowScope
- Open Settings and find the Data Export card.
- Choose CSV, JSON, or PDF.
- CSV downloads a zipped archive with one file per data table. JSON downloads a single structured file. PDF opens a print-ready report in a new tab for you to print or save.

- Settings → Data Export card
- User action
- Choose CSV, JSON, or PDF
- Download the resulting file, or print/save the PDF from the browser's print dialog
- Output
- CSV: a zipped archive with one file per non-empty table (plants, completed cycles, light/PPFD, climate, watering/feeding EC-pH, soil moisture, plant size, tasks, care history). JSON: a single structured file with the same dataset. PDF: a browser print-ready report.

Notes
- This export does not include photo files — only structured data (plants, cycles, measurements, tasks, history). A separate account backup/export feature includes photos and is meant for migrating your whole profile to a new device.
- The export covers the whole account at once — there is currently no per-plant or per-cycle filter.
- PDF export works by opening a formatted report and calling the browser's own print function, not by generating a PDF file directly.
