> Moving from Asana? Each project downloads as a spreadsheet from the project's own menu, and that's what we need. Here's where the button is, what the spreadsheet leaves out, and why to keep Asana open until we've finished.

Coming across from Asana? The Mucka team does the move for you. What we need from you is a spreadsheet of each Asana project, and you can download those yourself in a couple of clicks.

Asana isn't built for trades, so every business sets it up its own way: one project per job, one per customer, a board of tasks moving from "booked" to "done". That's fine. We haven't moved a business off Asana before, so we bring it across by hand: we look at how yours is laid out and check with you before anything goes in.

## Download each project as a spreadsheet

For every project you want to bring across:

1. Open the project in Asana on a computer.
2. Click the small arrow next to the project's name at the top.
3. Choose **Export**, then **CSV**.

The spreadsheet saves to your downloads. Do the same for each project that holds your jobs or customers. If you can't see Export in that menu, tell us when you send the rest and we'll find another way.

Each row is one task, with its name, who it's assigned to, its due date, the notes in its description, its tags, and when it was created and finished. Subtasks come out as rows of their own with their parent task named, and any custom fields you've added (a customer's phone number or address, say) get a column each.

**Rather we did it?** We can get the data out for you. You'd just need to give us access to your Asana: say so on your support ticket and we'll sort it out with you.

## What the spreadsheet leaves out

- **Comments.** The conversation on each task doesn't come out in the CSV. If that's where your job history lives, mention it when you send the files and we'll work through it with you.
- **Attachments.** Photos and PDFs stay on their tasks in Asana. Download the ones you want to keep from each task and send them over, and tell us which task each one came from.

## Send them to us

Attach the files to a support ticket. Open [**Settings → Support**](/settings/support/support), or just tell Mucka *"I'm moving from Asana, here are my projects"* and it'll raise one for you. No need to tidy or rename anything first.

## What comes across

Your tasks become jobs, with their dates, notes and the engineer they were assigned to. Where a task names the customer and their address, whether in the task name, the description or a custom field, we set them up as a client with their property, and put the job against them. Because every Asana setup is different, we'll tell you what we've found in your spreadsheets before we bring anything in, and check it with you rather than guess.

## Before you cancel

**Don't cancel Asana or delete your projects until we've told you we've got everything.** Once a workspace has gone, nobody can get the data back out.

Once you've sent your spreadsheets, start using Mucka straight away. When we import, we add to what's there, and you won't end up with two of anybody.
