Hi,
the Download csv doesn’t work. There is no button visible.
What can I do?
Kind regards
Hi Michael,
The CSV download feature is only available in the Pro version. If you already have the Pro version and still don’t see the CSV download button, please feel free to open a support ticket by writing us a mail.
Kind regards,
