- You will then need to unzip each of these files, right-click and select "Extract all" for each file.
- You can now view the contents of each file.

Verify data
The file named xxxx_dump includes a list of each contact and the contents of their activity log in a Windows folder format that has been exported out of BestNotes. We ask that you log into your inactive BestNotes account and compare the data in your export with the data in BestNotes.
For example choose 4-5 contacts and review the contents of their exported folder in comparison to what you see in BestNotes. Please take your time to validate and familiarize yourself with the translated format.
The file named xxxx_rawdata includes .csv files of your data. Please look through these and verify that all your data has been exported for you.
Once you have reviewed both files and are confident that all of your data is present and accurate we ask that you email exportcomplete@bestnotes.com so we can remove our copy of your account export from our servers.
