Use the Export side of Import / Export when you need a spreadsheet-friendly representation of Location data.

Common uses

• Reviewing Location data outside WordPress.
• Preparing controlled bulk changes.
• Moving a dataset through a documented administrative workflow.
• Checking slugs, IDs or coordinate coverage.

Round-trip discipline

If you plan to export, edit and import again, preserve stable External IDs and classification slugs. Avoid allowing spreadsheet software to silently transform identifiers or coordinates into unwanted formats.

Security

Location exports can contain business contact information or operational details. Store and share them according to your organization’s data-handling policies.
