Summary

In audience Q&A, Census presenters said the built-in export options are printing a PDF or using the share-URL; there is currently no built-in chart-print feature, and screen capture is recommended as a workaround.

In the webinar Q&A, an attendee asked whether maps could be exported. Tyson Weister replied that the Census platform currently supports printing the map to PDF and sharing a URL that returns to the same map state. "The functionality that we have is to print the PDF of the map or... using the URL from the share button is the way that you can save your results," he said, and noted the team logs enhancement requests for future export options.

When asked whether charts could be printed with the additional detail pages that the map print view provides, Weister said that functionality is not available at present. He recommended using screen-capture software as a workaround and confirmed the suggestion will be logged for possible future enhancement.
