# Extension backup and history

## Overview

The **Extension** area controls what happens after the browser extension finishes an export. It does
not change which Zillow listings are collected or which columns are included.

## Backup settings

Open **Extension → General** to manage two independent settings:

* **Sync exports to Google Sheets** sends future extension exports to Google Sheets. Connect the
  Google account first from [Linked accounts](/docs/web/linked-accounts).
* **Keep export history** stores export metadata in your account so that you can find the export
  later. Turning it off affects future exports; it does not delete existing history.

These switches save when you change them. If an option is unavailable, check your plan and linked
account status.

## Export history

Open **Extension → Export history** to review saved exports. Each row can show the file name, export
date, property type, number of properties, file format, and Google Sheets destination.

Use the controls above the table to:

* search by file name;
* filter by file format or property type;
* choose which table columns are visible;
* change the number of rows on each page;
* open the linked Google Sheet when an export has one.

An entry that says **No connected Google Sheet** was retained in history but was not associated with
a spreadsheet.

**History is not a file backup**

  Export history records information about an export. Availability of the original downloaded file
  depends on where you saved it. A linked Google Sheet remains in Google Drive under the connected
  Google account.
