A Q&A log lets you revisit the questions submitted during an instant live session or live event. It's useful for post-event follow-ups, sharing key questions with your team, or keeping a record of what your members asked.

## Key things to know about Q&A logs

- A Q&A log is only available if at least one question was submitted during the live session. If there was no Q&A activity, the download option won't appear in the live dashboard.

- Only admins can download Q&A logs.

- Q&A logs can be downloaded only from a web browser or the desktop app. This option isn't available on mobile apps.

## How to download the Q&A log

To download the live Q&A log:

1. Click&nbsp; **Community** &nbsp;in the left sidebar, then select&nbsp; **Live streams**.

2. Click&nbsp;**More actions (three dots)**&nbsp;next to the live entry.

3. Select&nbsp; **Download Q&A log** &nbsp;and confirm the action.

4. The Q&A log CSV will be sent to your admin email.

## What's included in the Q&A log

The downloaded CSV includes:

- Timestamp for each entry

- Entry type, either&nbsp; **Question** &nbsp;or&nbsp; **Answer**

- Submitter's first and last name. If the question was submitted anonymously, the first name will appear as&nbsp; **Anonymous** &nbsp;and the last name will be empty.

- Submitter's email address

- Text of the question or answer

## What’s not included in the Q&A log

The downloaded CSV file does&nbsp; **not** &nbsp;include:

- Questions dismissed by an admin or moderator. If question moderation is enabled, only approved questions appear in the export.

- Moderation status. Approved questions appear as regular entries with no label showing they were reviewed or approved.
