How to export your entire data room


Data Room Owners and Co-Owners can export the entire data room, complete with a confirmation letter verifying the integrity of the export. The export is available under data room settings shown below:

What is included when exporting the entire data room

Exporting the entire data room will include the following information:

  • Confirmation letter

  • Data room folder and file contents

  • Guest list

  • Activity log

  • Q&A Record

What is the confirmation letter

The confirmation letter contains a SHA-256 hash value, a unique identifier that verifies the integrity of the exported archive. If the hash value of the letter matches that of the exported archive, it confirms that the exported data has remained unchanged since the export.

A sample confirmation letter is shown below with the SHA-256 hash value is shown below

How to validate the SHA-256 Hash Value in the confirmation letter

For MacOS or Linux:

  1. Open Terminal.

  2. Run the following command: shasum -a 256 /path/to/your/file (Replace /path/to/your/file with the file path.)

  3. The output will show the SHA-256 hash.

For Windows:

  1. Open PowerShell or Command Prompt.

  2. Run the following command:

    Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 "C:\path\to\your\file"
    (Replace "C:\path\to\your\file" with the full path to the file.)

  3. The output will show the SHA-256 hash.

See an option to download (shortened paths). What does this mean?

Sometimes having too long a file name may cause issues when unzipping files. To ensure a seamless experience accessing your exported data room, we provide an optimized download option for unzipping. This does not affect the file contents in anyway.

Note: Downloading your exported data room with the original file paths may result in unzipping issues.
