Is it possible to download (export) a document from Zoom Docs to PC (data to excel or csv)?

Thank you

Hi. 

In Zoom Docs, you can download document by Open a Zoom Docs > Click the … button in the upper right corner > Print(save as PDF) .

Hi,

not to pdf but to editable format (eg. excel)

@renata_irn Thank you for raising the feedback! This is not out yet, but definitely something we are looking at.

Could you share your scenarios about when you need to export it into an editable format like Excel or CSV, please?

Hi Soph, we use Zoom as a corporate tool for meetings, chatting etc.

Zoom Docs is nice functionality which I discovered recently. I want to use it for collaboration on common document where users update current statuses for records and events. On regular basis I would need to extract data and upload it to our local BI system. So far there walkaround I found is selecting Columns by pressing Shift-button and Copy/Paste to excel sheet.

Hello, how do I download a zoom doc as a word document?  I think this is probably what 90% of all users want to do!

Hi @criticalobserve 

Thank you for your feedback! Currently, Zoom Docs supports printing and exporting as a PDF. We're actively exploring additional export options, so please stay tuned for updates!

Meanwhile, if you have more feedback towards Docs, or would like to discuss this further, we’d be happy to arrange a quick chat at your convenience. We’re always eager to hear from our users. Let us know!

Best,

Sorry you need to change that asap, who wants a pdf? I can save Word docs as a pdf myself. I need to download the meeting document, work on it and then save it. What a wasted chance. D-

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We truly appreciate your feedback and have noted it carefully

Hi @criticalobserve. Would supporting export to .docx format solve your problem?

[criticalobserve]

Yes, that would be amazing!  Please let me know when and how this is finally possible!

Seconding this.   The ability to export a document to Word would makes this feature far more useful.  Sometimes we have a document in Word that we will upload and share in a meeting to get some markup, but ultimately need to get it back as a Word document and not be limited to working within Zoom docs.

@jlevin Thank you for sharing your scenario. Forwarding this with our relevant feature PM👍
May I ask why you would convert it back to Word and how you would use the Word document afterwards?

[jlevin]

We may do some initial collaboration on a draft of the document during a Zoom meeting, but then it needs to be worked on further either as part of a larger document or using features that Word  has but not Zoom Docs.   And we may need to circulate the document to folks outside our organization or submit to a third party.   A grant application would be a good example.

Hi @jlevin.
May I confirm if by “export a document to Word,” you mean exporting it in .docx format?

[jlevin]

That is exactly what I meant!

And similarly, as others have noted, the ability to export tables to .xlsx format would be equally valuable.

The ability to collaborate on docs within Zoom, particularly during meetings, is great, but we aren't going to have Zoom docs replace our use of MS Office.

I would say it‘s almost obvious that person means that.
