# Batch results, edits, and export

> Edit the batch grid and export CSV, Excel, JSON, or an archive.

Open a batch from **Batch Processing** to get the results grid. Each row is a document; each column is a schema field. Mixed-version batches show the union of columns.

## Edit a cell

Click a cell to override the extracted value. The grid marks edited cells. Overrides survive a later reprocess of the same schema. They are cleared if you [move the document](#move-a-document) onto a *different* schema.

Confidence and source page stay visible so you can judge the original extraction.

A failed document shows the real error when we have one (for example a schema mismatch). Retry from the grid — a retry of a failure resumes; a reprocess of a completed document starts fresh.

## Export

Download from the batch toolbar:

| Format              | What you get                                                     |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **CSV**             | One row per document, UTF-8 with a BOM so Excel opens it cleanly |
| **Excel** (`.xlsx`) | Same grid, with table fields on their own sheets                 |
| **JSON**            | Per-document payload for pipelines                               |
| **Archive**         | A zip with `summary.csv` and the original files                  |

Edited cells are what export. The CSV can include original vs final columns when translations or overrides exist.

## Open in chat

**Open in chat** starts an [Extract Chat](/guides/chat-and-analysis) thread with this batch attached. Ask aggregate questions; the assistant can query the live grid.

## Move a document

Move a finished document to another batch you can edit:

1. Open the document (or use the move action on the attachment).
2. Choose the destination batch.
3. Confirm.

Rules:

* You cannot move a document that is still **Processing**.
* You cannot move into a canceled batch or a schema-builder test batch.
* Moving to a batch with a **different schema** clears cell overrides and re-extracts.
* Moving to the **same schema** keeps your edits and still re-runs extraction (billable, attributed to you).

The destination batch picks up a new pending row and processes it like an add-documents action.
