Print and Export in ClickUp

Printing content from ClickUp helps you share information offline, archive snapshots, and collaborate with people who prefer paper or PDF. This guide explains every supported way to print or export views, including dashboards, Lists, tasks, Docs, and Whiteboards, using built-in options and your browser’s print tools.

How printing works in ClickUp

There is no single global print button in the platform. Instead, you use a combination of:

  • Your browser’s Print function for most pages and views.
  • Specific export or share options built into certain ClickUp features.
  • Standard keyboard shortcuts for quick access.

Because many layouts are dynamic and interactive, printed pages are best used as static references rather than full interactive copies.

Use browser print options with ClickUp

The fastest way to print content is to rely on your browser. This works on most core views that display tasks and structure.

Open a ClickUp view to print

You can start from almost any main area, for example:

  • Spaces, Folders, and Lists in List view.
  • Board views that show tasks as cards.
  • Dashboards that aggregate widgets and metrics.
  • Docs pages, including nested pages.

Make sure the view is configured the way you want it to appear when printed. Adjust filters, grouping, and columns before you open the browser print dialog.

Print from ClickUp using keyboard shortcuts

On most operating systems, you can print a visible screen in a few key presses:

  • Windows and Linux: Press Ctrl + P.
  • macOS: Press Command + P.

This opens the browser’s print window, where you can control destination, layout, and scale.

Print from ClickUp using browser menus

If you prefer menus instead of shortcuts, follow these steps:

  1. Open the specific page or view in ClickUp.
  2. Open your browser menu (for example, the three dots icon in Chrome).
  3. Select Print from the menu.
  4. Adjust your print settings.
  5. Click Print or Save as PDF.

This method works consistently across dashboards, tasks, Lists, and many other views.

Print a ClickUp Dashboard

Dashboards show charts, widgets, and summaries that are ideal for meetings and reports. You can capture these dashboards using standard print tools.

Prepare the ClickUp dashboard

Before printing a dashboard:

  • Open the desired dashboard.
  • Resize or rearrange widgets so important information is visible.
  • Set any date ranges or filters you want to include in the snapshot.

What you see on the screen is generally what appears on the printed page, so confirm the layout first.

Print the ClickUp dashboard with your browser

  1. With the dashboard open, press the shortcut for printing on your device.
  2. In the print dialog, select your printer or choose Save as PDF to create a file.
  3. Set orientation to Landscape if widgets are cut off in portrait mode.
  4. Adjust scale if parts of the dashboard do not fit on one page.
  5. Print or save the dashboard.

Large dashboards may span multiple pages depending on your layout and scaling settings.

Print ClickUp tasks and List views

You may want to print individual tasks or an entire List of tasks for reference, handouts, or quick offline review.

Print an individual ClickUp task

  1. Open the task in its full view.
  2. Collapse sections you do not want to include, such as long comment threads.
  3. Ensure important fields like description, assignees, and due dates are visible.
  4. Use Ctrl + P or Command + P, or choose Print from your browser menu.
  5. Review the preview and adjust scale or layout if necessary.
  6. Print or save the task as a PDF.

Some interactive components, such as hover states or expandable sections, may not appear exactly the same on paper as on the screen.

Print a List or other ClickUp views

For Lists, Boards, and other views that show multiple tasks:

  1. Open the relevant Space, Folder, or List.
  2. Select the desired view (for example, List view or Board view).
  3. Configure columns, sorting, and filters to include only the information you need.
  4. Use your browser’s print function.
  5. In the print preview, confirm the table or cards display clearly.
  6. Print or export as PDF.

Consider switching to a simplified view with fewer columns if your tasks are truncated in the printout.

Print ClickUp Docs

Docs are often shared or stored outside the platform. You can print them directly from your browser the same way you print webpages.

Prepare a ClickUp Doc for printing

To get a clean result:

  • Open the main page or nested page you want to print.
  • Expand any toggles that contain text you want included.
  • Remove or hide content you do not want to share.
  • Check that headings and spacing look consistent.

The page layout in your browser is what determines how the printed Doc will appear.

Print the ClickUp Doc

  1. With the Doc open, use Ctrl + P or Command + P, or select Print from your browser menu.
  2. In the print dialog, choose your printer or PDF destination.
  3. Pick portrait or landscape orientation depending on your content width.
  4. Adjust margins if text appears too close to the page edges.
  5. Print or save the Doc.

If your organization prefers standardized templates, you can save Docs as PDFs for consistent distribution.

Print ClickUp Whiteboards and visual content

Whiteboards and other visual layouts may not always print perfectly, but you can still capture them using the same browser-based tools.

Print a ClickUp Whiteboard

  1. Open the Whiteboard you want to print.
  2. Zoom and pan until the main area of interest fits within the visible canvas.
  3. Hide temporary or draft elements that you do not want to share.
  4. Activate the browser’s print function.
  5. Review the preview, then print or save as needed.

Since canvases can be larger than a single page, you may need to adjust zoom or focus on a specific region for the clearest printout.

Tips for better ClickUp printing results

Here are practical ways to improve the quality of your printed pages:

  • Use PDF first: Choose Save as PDF to check formatting before sending to a physical printer.
  • Check color vs. grayscale: Some charts or priority colors may be harder to read in black and white.
  • Test scaling: If columns or widgets are cut off, reduce scale to fit more content on each page.
  • Hide distractions: Collapse sidebars and close pop-ups in ClickUp before opening the print dialog.
  • Preview multiple pages: Dashboards and long Lists often span more than one page.

When printing from ClickUp is limited

Because many layouts are responsive and interactive, printed output is a simplified snapshot. Some limitations include:

  • Interactive elements do not function on paper.
  • Certain side panels or toolbars may appear differently than expected.
  • Very wide tables and complex dashboards may still require scrolling, even after scaling.

For exact details about current behavior and any recent updates, see the official documentation for printing and exporting in the platform on the ClickUp help center.
