# Migration Export - Logikcull

## **Introduction**

Logikcull projects can be fully exported by downloading all the documents in your project along with all available metadata. This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to achieve this, whether you require all records, including duplicates, or only unique instances of each record. Before proceeding, please note that Logikcull offers [**Archiving**](http://support.logikcull.com/en/articles/6590232-archiving-projects-in-logikcull) - "cold storage" instant archiving that retains all uploads, downloads, imaging, metadata processing, indexing, deduplication, work product, and downloads.

## **Exporting All Records Including Duplicates (Scenario A)**

1. From **My Projects**, select the project that needs to be exported.
2. Click on **Search**.
3. Switch to the **"No Dedupe" D**
4. **eduplication View**. You can quickly navigate there by first selecting the "pill" located below the filter carousel.
5. Save the search.

## **Final Notes**

After running the full project download, we additionally recommend preserving copies of any previous downloads/exports, just for safe measure.

For productions with over 1 million documents, we typically recommend breaking the produced load file into two parts:

1. A load file produced through the download process that includes all of your needed metadata fields; and
2. A CSV report that includes work product:
  1. Logikcull Document Notes
  2. Logikcull Document Comments
  3. Logikcull Document Tags
  4. Individual Tags
  5. "Doc Num From" (Full Project Volume Name)

We also recommend downloading a CSV of your saved searches, in the project you're exporting from, in case they need to be re-created. A screenshot walkthrough of how to do so can be found below:

![242 - 22 - Download Saved Search CSV](https://5796933.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/5796933/hubfs/DOCUMENTATION/ARTICLE%20SCREENSHOTS/242%20-%2022%20-%20Download%20Saved%20Search%20CSV.png?width=1431&quality=high)

**To export redacted versions of documents:**

- Filter the document list for the tag "Has Redactions".
- Save a search for the filtered list of redacted documents.
- Create a Download from the saved search. In the load file, include Begin Doc and "Doc num from [previous archive export name]." This will allow you to cross-reference the redacted documents with the non-redacted version in the original export.
- Select "Yes, include images in download," "with doc number as file name" and "Yes, include redactions on images" to export the redacted version of the document.
- Select "No" for natives and text files.
