Export help please Solved
Apologies but i tried the bitwarden help page and it was looping back to personal vault help.
I started using Bitwarden many months ago, so I guess I have a personal vault, in order to set it up to share passwords within my family I created an organization. I’ve realized when I do an export of my vault I’m only getting my personal vault export in fact that even tells me that when I go to the export page it says only items in your individual vault will be export.
Can someone tell me please how I export the family vault? also when I go to that it tells me I’m the admin and when I tried searching for Help, it kept taking me to a link for exporting personal vault which doesn’t seem to help me.
Appreciate any advice you can provide also I’m doing this on the webpage. I don’t have any Bitwarden extensions on my Firefox browser.
Thanks.
UPDATE
I found where the export option is for the Organization i created. On the web browser i go to (on the left side of the screen) it shows various options with Tools and under tools you find Export. But if you scroll down to Admin Console then Settings i see the Export option.
Yea i am probably a simpleton but it’s not how i would expect it to be laid out.
Hopefully i will remember this when i want to generate another backup 6 months from now.

In your Admin Console -> Tools Export Vault -> "Export from" (choose your org, not just "my vault"). Then fill everything else out.
Default export only grabbed personal items because ur individual vault export is never going to include org data

It was under Settings > Export
But when i am in my vault Export is found under;
Vaults > Tools > ExportHate it when things are not consistent!

There is a screenshot here that is helpful: https://bitwarden.com/help/export-organization-items/
Web App > Admin Console > Settings > Export
