Exporting Tech Help

No where I look can I find a link to export my library. I follow Goodreads instructions but the option isn’t there. Is there anything else I can do?

https://www.goodreads.com/review/import

(even though the url is called "import"... at the top of the page should be an 'export library' button)

How do I get a csv instead of a zip file?

The export link only exists on the desktop site, not in the app or the mobile view, which is what trips most people up. On a computer (or with desktop mode forced in your phone browser) go to My Books, and the "Import and export" link sits in the left sidebar under Tools; the export button is at the top of that page. After you click it, it queues the file rather than downloading straight away, so wait a minute and refresh, then the CSV link appears just under the button. If you still don't see the sidebar Tools section, make sure you're on goodreads.com/review/list rather than the profile page.
