Example
@Maito how do I export a report to CSV? Our finance team needs it for tomorrow.
Hi Rachel. Open the report, choose Export, then CSV. It downloads right away if the report has under 10,000 rows. Your Q3 orders report has about 12,000, so export it in two date ranges, Jul 1 to Aug 15 and Aug 16 to Sep 30, then combine the files. That limit is a known bug and our team is fixing it. From our help article "Export reports" and your open ticket. @Jo, flagging the row limit for you, since Acme is hitting it.
@Maito thanks. Can finance get a scheduled export every Monday?
I can't confirm that from our docs, so I've asked Jo, your account manager. She'll reply here in the morning.

It answers from your docs, so it can't promise dates, discounts or fixes. Those go to a person.
Questions
No. It reads a thread only after someone mentions it there.
Your docs in Notion, Confluence or Box, and what your team has shared with it.
It says so and tags the right person on your team.
