## **Overview**

The **Video exports** tab in the Resource Hub is the one place to find every MP4 and GIF your team has exported from a Walnut demo. Instead of opening the share panel on each demo to find a past render, you can browse, play, download, retry, or delete company-wide exports from the Resource Hub.

Walnut keeps each finished export for **30 days** and then deletes it automatically, so the tab doubles as a short-lived shared drop for recent renders.

---

## **Before You Start**

- **Role:** Admins and Editors see the Video exports tab. Presenters and Viewers don't.
- **Prerequisite:** your demo must already be exported as a video — see [Export a demo as a video (MP4/GIF)](/help/demos/publish/export-as-video).

---

## **Open the Video exports tab**

1. Click **Resource Hub** in the main navigation.
2. Switch to the **Video exports** tab in the Resource Hub tab strip.

The tab opens with every teammate's exports listed as cards, newest first, and a banner that reads *"Video exports are kept for 30 days"*.

---

## **What each export shows**

Each export is a card with:

- A **thumbnail** and the **demo name** it was rendered from
- A **status badge** — **Ready**, **Rendering**, or **Failed**
- The requester line — **By you** for your own exports, or **By *Name*** for a teammate's
- The export **format** (MP4 or GIF) and **quality** (Standard, High, or Max)
- A **Deletes in *N* days** countdown that turns yellow in the last week and red on the final day (the last day is labelled *"Deletes within a day"*)

Switch the tab between **Grid** and **List** with the view toggle in the top bar. In List view, a playable row also offers a **Play** button so you can review the render in place.

---

## **Filter and search**

- **Exported by** — pick **Anyone** (default) to see every teammate's export or **My videos** to narrow the list to your own.
- **Search** — type in the search box to match by **demo name** or **requester name** (case-insensitive).

If **My videos** is on and you haven't exported anything yet, the tab shows a *"No video exports yet"* empty state with a link back into the export flow.

---

## **Actions on an export**

The actions you see depend on whether the export is yours and whether it's finished:

- **Download** — on any **Ready** export, yours or a teammate's.
- **Copy link** — in the card's **More actions** menu, so you can paste the download link into an email or chat.
- **Retry** — on your own **Failed** export; Walnut re-queues the render with your original settings.
- **Delete** — on your own export, from **More actions**; a confirmation modal asks you to confirm. Only the person who exported a video can delete it.

Deleted and expired exports fall off the list immediately.

---

## **Error messages**

Walnut surfaces short, specific messages when an action can't complete:

| **When you see it** | **What it means** |
| --- | --- |
| *This export was already deleted.* | The export reached its 30-day limit or someone else deleted it between loads. |
| *You need edit access to this demo to retry it.* | Your demo access changed since the export was created — ask the demo owner for edit access. |
| *Only the person who exported it can do that.* | Delete is restricted to the requester. |
| *Try again in a moment.* | A transient server error — retry the action. |
| *Check your connection and try again.* | A client-side problem reaching Walnut. |

## **FAQs**

### **How long are exports kept?**
30 days from the moment the render finishes. Walnut shows the remaining days on each card and deletes the file automatically when the countdown hits zero.

### **Can I re-export a video that was deleted?**
Yes. Open the demo, run **Export as video** again with the settings you need, and the fresh export shows up in the tab as soon as the render completes.

### **Can I download someone else's export?**
Yes. Any **Ready** export is downloadable from the tab regardless of who requested it. Only the person who exported it can delete or retry it.

### **Why don't I see the Video exports tab?**
The tab is available to Admins and Editors. If you have the right role and still don't see it, ask a Walnut admin to confirm your account has video exports enabled.

### **Does deleting an export affect the demo or its link?**
No. The export is just a rendered file. The demo, its published link, and its Insights are untouched.
