Getting your data out of Paddl
Most areas of Paddl let you export, and the option usually sits on the page you are looking at, often a button labelled Export near the top. Here is where each one lives and what you get.
Records pages: export the chip you are on
Every section has a Records page: Food Safety, Fire & Safety, Health & safety, Location Monitoring, Licences & permits, Team and Customer. On each, pick a chip, set the date range and any filters, and click Export. You get the records for that chip, in the Checks or Reports view you are on, as a spreadsheet. Pick All to export the whole section.
What else you can export

Printing
Where there is a PDF export, that is the version to print. Open it and print as you would any PDF. For screens without a dedicated export, your browser's print option (Cmd+P on a Mac, Ctrl+P on Windows) will print what is on the page.
Tip: Exports reflect your data at the moment you download them, so save any recent changes first. For an inspector, the Audit Pack is almost always the right choice because it gathers everything into one file.
