# Export Annotated Data

> Export labeled datasets from Athina in your preferred format.

Athina allows you to export annotated datasets for use in downstream analysis, model training, quality assurance, or archival.

***

## Export Options

You can export annotations in multiple formats and levels of detail:

* **CSV**
* **JSON**
* **XLSX**

Exports are available directly from the dataset’s **Sheet** tab.

***

## Steps to Export

1. Go to the **Datasets** page.
2. Click into the dataset connected to your annotation project.
3. Switch to the **Sheet** view.
4. Click the **Download** icon on the top right of the table.

5. Choose a file format: CSV, JSON, or XLSX.

## Export Modal – Choose Data Format

After selecting the file type, you'll be prompted to choose how annotations should be exported:

### You can select from:

#### ✅ Aggregated annotation results

* Combines data from all annotators into a single output row.
* Categorical labels appear as **JSON objects**.
* Numeric labels appear as **averages**.
* Comments are merged into a single text field.

**Use this** when:

* You want a simplified output for training.
* You want a compact view of consensus annotations.

***

#### 📊 Raw annotation data

* Preserves each annotator’s responses in separate columns.
* Includes a **"final" column** that may be used for adjudicated or post-reviewed annotations.
* Ideal for audit logs or fine-grained performance analysis.

**Use this** when:

* You need to analyze individual annotator behavior.
* You're performing quality assurance or measuring agreement manually.

***

## Pro Tips

* Apply filters in the Sheet view before downloading to extract specific subsets (e.g., high-agreement rows, individual annotator segments).
* Use the **Annotation Filter** to limit export to certain fields, annotators, or label values.
* You can also use the exported dataset as input for the **Experiment** feature in Athina.

<Tip>
  Need to resolve conflicts before export? Add a custom "final\_label" column to the dataset and use it to record adjudicated results.
