+
+You will get a message from the system notifying you that the data is ready to be downloaded, and providing you a link to download the .csv file with a copy of your posts.
+If you have enabled notifications via email, you will also get an email with this information. Just press the link to download the file.
+
+The data is compressed as a gzip archive. If the archive does not extract itself when you open it, use the tools recommended here: http://www.gzip.org/#faq4
+
+The link will be available for 48h, after that it will expire and you will have to export your data again.
+
+Once you extract the file you can open it in your spreadsheet program.
