Hi @jcr! I believe we don’t support this feature yet - there is a feature request open here which you can upvote: [https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/10907157-exporting-data](https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/10907157-exporting-data).
