# Export merge requests to CSV **(FREE)**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/3619) in GitLab 13.6.
Export all the data collected from a project's merge requests into a comma-separated values (CSV) file.
To export merge requests to a CSV file:
1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Projects** and find your project.
1. On the left sidebar, select **Merge requests** .
1. Add any searches or filters. This can help you keep the size of the CSV file under the 15MB limit. The limit ensures
the file can be emailed to a variety of email providers.
1. Select **Export as CSV** (**{export}**).
1. Confirm the correct number of merge requests are to be exported.
1. Select **Export merge requests**.
## CSV Output
The following table shows the attributes in the CSV file.
| Column | Description |
|--------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------|
| Title | Merge request title |
| Description | Merge request description |
| MR ID | MR `iid` |
| URL | A link to the merge request on GitLab |
| State | Opened, Closed, Locked, or Merged |
| Source Branch | Source branch |
| Target Branch | Target branch |
| Source Project ID | ID of the source project |
| Target Project ID | ID of the target project |
| Author | Full name of the merge request author |
| Author Username | Username of the author, with the @ symbol omitted |
| Assignees | Full names of the merge request assignees, joined with a `,` |
| Assignee Usernames | Username of the assignees, with the @ symbol omitted |
| Approvers | Full names of the approvers, joined with a `,` |
| Approver Usernames | Username of the approvers, with the @ symbol omitted |
| Merged User | Full name of the merged user |
| Merged Username | Username of the merge user, with the @ symbol omitted |
| Milestone ID | ID of the merge request milestone |
| Created At (UTC) | Formatted as `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS` |
| Updated At (UTC) | Formatted as `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS` |
In GitLab 14.7 and earlier, the first two columns were `MR ID` and `URL`,
which [caused an issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/34769)
when importing back into GitLab.
