Export All Documents

Here's how to export all of your Team’s Productions, and the Documents they contain.

After downloading, a copy of the most recent version of each Document is made available for use outside Postlab.

How it works

Only the primary Team Owner can do this.

  1. Before downloading all productions, demote all Team Members to the guest role, so no further changes can be uploaded. This prevents work to be uploaded to Postlab after you've downloaded all your data.

  2. Hit the Action button under Preferences > Teams > Your Team

  3. Click Download all Productions

    • You’ll be prompted to select the location to store the downloaded Productions.

  1. You’ll be prompted to select the location to store the downloaded Productions.

As all historical versions of all Documents will be downloaded, this can take up a sizeable amount of space. Make sure to select a location with sufficient free space!

  1. After selecting the location, a download task will be started in a Terminal window:

  1. When the task is done, it'll tell which Productions or Documents it wasn’t able to download.

  1. In Finder, you’ll see Productions in the folder structure as set up for your Team in Postlab. Besides that, all of a Production’s Documents are stored in a folder with the name of the Production.

The download task stores a log file in the root of the download folder. In case of errors, please send this log file to us at postlab@hedge.video .

Exporting the activity for all Documents

You may still want to have an overview of who did what at which moment:

If you haven't deleted the .postlab bundles that were downloaded when exporting your data, you can export the activity for your Documents using this script:

How it works

  • Download and unzip the file exportActivityLogs.sh.zip

  • Put the unzipped script in your exports folder, which starts with Postlab-downloads-

  • Open a Terminal window

  • Drag the script exportActivityLogs.sh from Finder to the Terminal window

  • Click the Terminal window to activate it, and hit Enter to run the script

  • The script does the following:

    • Traverse into all the .postlab bundles within that folder and its subfolders

    • Get the Activity Logs for each Document

    • Write the Activity Logs as CSV files in the foldres next to the .postlab bundles
