What You Can Migrate
ClickUp organizes work in a hierarchy of Spaces, Folders, Lists, and Tasks. Here is what you can export:- Tasks — all task details including name, description, and status
- Subtasks — tasks nested under parent tasks
- Assignees — team members assigned to each task
- Due dates and start dates — scheduled timelines
- Custom fields — any additional fields configured on lists or tasks
- Statuses — task progress states (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Done)
- Time tracked — if time tracking is enabled in your workspace
- Tags — labels applied to tasks
What does NOT export: Task comments, attachments, and task history are not included in ClickUp’s CSV export. Docs (ClickUp’s document feature) also require a separate export process.
Step 1: Export Your Data from ClickUp
ClickUp offers two export methods: exporting a specific List or Table view, or exporting all task data from the entire workspace.Option A: Export a Specific List or Table View
Use this to export tasks from a single list, or a filtered view of tasks.- Open the List or Table view you want to export in ClickUp
- Click Customize in the upper-right corner of the view
- Click Export at the bottom of the Customize panel
- Choose your export format:
- CSV — recommended for Knowlix import
- XLSX — if you prefer to review the data in Excel first
- Configure export options:
- Columns to include: Choose All columns, Visible columns, or Task names only
- Subtasks: In List view, set the subtask dropdown to As separate tasks; in Table view, toggle on Showing Subtasks
- Time format (CSV only): Choose Normal (e.g., “2h 30m”) or hh:mm (e.g., “2:30”)
- Click Start Export
- When the export is ready, click Download Export
Email download links expire after 1 hour. ClickUp also sends a download link to your email — this link expires after 1 hour, so download it promptly.
Option B: Export All Workspace Data
Use this to get a complete export of all tasks across all Spaces, Folders, and Lists in your workspace.- Click your Workspace avatar in the bottom-left corner
- Go to Settings
- In the All settings sidebar, click Imports/Exports
- Under the Exports section, click Export Items
- Select the data range and format (CSV)
- Click Start Export
- Download the file when it is ready
Export Format Guide
| Method | Scope | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| List/Table view export | Single list or filtered view | Migrating specific lists |
| Workspace export | All tasks in all lists | Full migration to Knowlix |
Step 2: Upload to Knowlix
Once you have your CSV files from ClickUp:- Go to Settings > Import in Knowlix
- Select ClickUp as the source platform
- Upload your exported CSV file(s)
- Knowlix will automatically detect your Spaces, Folders, and Lists from the export structure
Step 3: Review & Confirm
Before the import is finalized, Knowlix shows you a field mapping preview. Here you can:- Verify that ClickUp columns (e.g., “Task Name”, “Status”, “Assignee”, “Due Date”) are correctly matched to Knowlix fields
- Map ClickUp statuses (e.g., “In Progress”, “Complete”) to the equivalent Knowlix task stages
- Choose how to handle subtasks — as nested items or standalone tasks
- Click Confirm Import to start the migration
