## Configuration

| Setting                      | Description                                                                        |
| ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Make publicly accessible** | Toggle to generate a shareable public link                                         |
| **Title**                    | Display name in the Exports list                                                   |
| **Description**              | Optional context for the export                                                    |
| **Columns**                  | Select which fields to include. Use Mentions to pull values from any upstream node |

## How It Works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Name the export">
    Set a title and optional description for easy identification.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select columns">
    Choose which fields to include using **Mentions** to reference upstream data.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set visibility">
    Toggle **Make publicly accessible** if you need a shareable link.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Output

Exports are available under **Exports** in the sidebar after the Agent runs.

## Best Practices

* Include only the columns needed to keep exports clean and focused
* Use descriptive titles so exports are easy to find later
* Only enable public access when sharing externally is necessary
