# Export Scouting Notes as Shapefile

GeoPard lets you batch export scouting notes through the user interface in shapefile format.

### Option 1: Shapefile Export

You can download scouting notes from **Export** in the left-side menu: [app.geopard.tech/#/export](http://app.geopard.tech/#/export)\ <br>

The downloaded ZIP file contains one or more shapefiles, with one SHP per scouting layer.
