Import and Export move conversations in and out of Perspective.

- [Import Conversations](/docs/guide/data/import-conversations) - bring transcripts or recordings from meetings held in other apps into an agent, and analyze them alongside the ones your agents ran.
- [Export Conversations](/docs/guide/data/export-conversations) - download your conversations as a ZIP for reporting, collaboration, governance, or analysis in the tools you already use.

## Where to Find Them

Open **Agents** in the sidebar, select an agent, then open its **Conversations** tab. **Import** and **Export** sit just above the conversation list.

## What Both Have in Common

Both features are in **Beta**. Each dialog has a **Share feedback** link, and you can [share feedback here](https://getperspective.ai/share/9a6dkz4n?utm_source=docs&utm_medium=docs&utm_campaign=conversation_import_export_beta) any time something does not work the way you expect.

Large imports and exports run in the background, so you can keep working while your data is prepared. Perspective emails you when it is ready. Closing the dialog does not stop the run, and reopening it shows progress instead of starting a second one.
