# Export

> Download your schedule for sharing or printing

The schedule header has a **download** button that exports the current schedule. The format depends on the schedule type.

## Block schedules

Block schedules export as a single Excel file (`.xlsx`). The file is built to read like the on-screen grid:

* **Columns:** Role | Physician | one column per date.
* **Cell colors** match the grid — each block type keeps its color, and admin-customized block colors carry through.
* **Consecutive same-block runs are merged** into a single cell. A person assigned to Wards for five straight days shows as one wide "Wards" cell, not five identical cells.
* **Rows are grouped by role**, sorted by role name then first name — the same order as the on-screen grid. The Role column merges vertically across each group, so the role label appears once per section.
* **Frozen panes:** the header row and the Role + Physician columns stay pinned when you scroll through dates.

If the schedule has [labels](/view-your-schedule/labels), they appear as:

* The label's text replaces the block name in the cell.
* The cell's background stays the underlying block's color.
* The label's color becomes the text color, bold.
* A label that spans two different blocks renders as two adjacent cells — each labeled, each with its own block fill underneath. This preserves the block-color signal across the transition.

The filename is `<schedule-name>.xlsx`.

## Call schedules

[Call schedules](/view-your-schedule/call-schedules) export as a zip of CSV files, one per block type, named `<schedule-name> - <block-name>.csv`. The zip is named `<schedule-name> - Call Schedules.zip`. Call-schedule data is structured differently (slot-on-day rather than block-per-week), so it stays in the simpler CSV format.

## Draft vs saved

If you have unsaved draft edits, the export uses the draft state — you don't need to save first to preview your in-progress changes in a downloadable form.
