Common Issues
Special characters appear incorrectly?
Solution: When opening in Excel, use "Data → From Text" and select UTF-8 encoding.
For Google Sheets, encoding is handled automatically.
File download not starting?
Check these common causes:
- Browser pop-up blocker is enabled - allow pop-ups for StackBloom
- Very large exports (10,000+ responses) may take 30-60 seconds
- Try a different browser if issues persist
Empty export or missing responses?
If your export is empty or incomplete:
- Check your date range filter isn't excluding responses
- Ensure you have responses in the form
- Contact support if the issue persists
