# Guide: Full Project Exports with Logikcull

This comprehensive guide walks you through downloading all the documents in your project along with all available metadata.

## 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 - "cold storage" instant archiving that retains all uploads, downloads, imaging, metadata processing, indexing, deduplication, work product, and downloads.

2. Click on "Search".

## Preparing Your Download

After saving your search, you can prepare your download.

1. Navigate to the "Search" tab
2. Click on "Saved Searches".
3. Click on "Download" for the saved search you created.
4. Set the parameters as required and click "Next".
5. **We recommend creating a new template that utilizes all available fields except for "Full Text", "Duplicate IDs", and "Duplicate Files."**
6. Choose the load file format according to your needs, though DAT format (e.g., Concordance UTF-8) is highly recommended.
7. Decide whether to include IMAGES, NATIVES, and/or TEXT FILES and click "Next".

## 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: a) A load file produced through the download process that includes all of your needed metadata fields; and

b) 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:

### 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.
