# Export Scout data

> Export reviewed entries and article corpora while preserving source provenance.

Use exports for audits, handoffs, spreadsheets, and offline review. Exporting
does not sync anything to Atlas.

## Export Entries

JSONL is the safest format for large reviewed handoffs:

```bash theme={null}
scout export entries \
  --run-id RUN_ID \
  --type person \
  --unique-names \
  --format jsonl \
  --output people.jsonl
```

Use CSV for spreadsheet review:

```bash theme={null}
scout export entries \
  --run-id RUN_ID \
  --type person \
  --unique-names \
  --format csv \
  --output people.csv
```

Entry exports include local entry ids, run ids, descriptions, issue areas,
source URLs, source context, dataset markers, source keys, source dates, and
local creation timestamps.

## Export Articles

```bash theme={null}
scout articles export \
  --format jsonl \
  --output articles.jsonl
```

Article exports include URLs, titles, publication dates, source domains,
provider ids, provider metadata, body text fields, and text-derived mention
candidates when present.

Article records are not Atlas entries. Run normal discovery to extract people,
organizations, initiatives, campaigns, or events from stored articles.

## Preserve Evidence

Do not strip source fields from exported files. They are what let another
reviewer decide whether a record is current, relevant, and safe to use.
