1- How to export LearnPress courses to a CSV file

Here’s how you can download all your LearnPress courses to a CSV file in order to edit them in Excel or Google Sheets or migrate your courses to another website.

First, click on Export. It’s on the top toolbar.

After that, you need to select the following values to export your LearnPress courses:

• What columns do you want to export: Click on Select all or enter specific columns.
• I understand it will export the posts from my current search: Tick this checkbox.
• Optional. Tick the I will edit this file with Microsoft Excel checkbox. Sometimes Excel doesn’t recognize the comma as separator, so this checkbox fixes that problem.
• Finally, click on Start new export.

After downloading the CSV file to your computer, you can edit it using Excel or Google Sheets.

For example, you can edit the courses’ duration. For that, just go to the lp duration column and change the number of week the courses last.

After making the changes you need, you need to save the changes, and you’ll be ready to import the info back to the LearnPress spreadsheet.

2- How to import LearnPress courses from a CSV file

Whether you edit your LearnPress courses in a CSV file or just want to migrate your courses to another website, you can easily import the courses into LearnPress using the Sheet Editor’s Import tool.
