Overview
This page demonstrates how to use the Table Plus macro, which is part of the Advanced Tables for Confluence add-on, to provide view users an option to downloading or exporting (as an attachment) a CSV representation of the table view. By specifying the Allow export parameter on the macro, users will be given 2 icons that can be clicked to download or export the current table view to a CSV file. Download will place the file on the user local system. Export will create an attachment.
