A Skool community is a record of what its members care about: which posts get replies, what the creator keeps saying, and how the course is built. This guide is for community owners keeping a copy of their own, and people studying a community before building or joining one.
Can you export posts or courses from Skool?
No, not that Skool documents. Searching its help center for “export” returns one article, about an admin button that exports members’ answers to membership questions (checked November 2026). For posts and courses, you either copy by hand or use a tool that reads the page.
How do I export a Skool community’s posts?
Use a Chrome extension that reads the feed. Parsly is free, works through a community’s feed at about 30 posts every 3 seconds, and downloads a CSV.
- Add Parsly to Chrome, and allow it on Skool when it asks.
- Open the community’s feed (skool.com/community). Any category or sort you’ve picked is kept.
- Click Collect posts and choose how many: 100, 300, 1,000 or all.
- See them as cards, with likes, comments, category, and Pinned and Video badges.
- Download the CSV. Each row has the title, text, author, category, likes, comments, whether it’s pinned or has a video, when it was posted and last commented on, and its link.
How do I export a Skool classroom course?
Open any lesson as a signed-in member, and Parsly collects every lesson in that course, about 1.5 seconds a lesson with write-ups.
- Open a lesson (skool.com/community/classroom/course), signed in as a member.
- Click Collect lessons. Parsly reads the course’s outline, then opens each lesson for the text below its video, about 1.5 seconds a lesson.
- Download a CSV or JSON, or copy it as text. Each lesson has its title, section, length, video link, attached file names, links, whether it’s locked, and its write-up as Markdown.
What’s the best way to export a Skool community?
Parsly, if you want many posts or a whole course with their details. Copying by hand only makes sense for a post or two.
| Way | Free | Posts | Courses | Effort |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skool itself | n/a | No documented export | No documented export | n/a |
| Copy by hand | Yes | One at a time | One at a time | Very high |
| Scraping services | Paid | Varies | Varies | Setup |
| Parsly | Yes | Yes, with numbers | Yes, with write-ups | One click |
What can you learn from the spreadsheet?
Sort by comments to see what starts conversations, by category to see what the community is really about, and by date posted to see how often the creator posts. In a course, read section titles and write-ups in order to see how the creator teaches and what they give away with each lesson.
Can you get transcripts of a Skool course?
Not in one go, but the spreadsheet gets you most of the way. It lists each lesson’s video link and host, so you can take those links to the guides for a YouTube transcript or a Loom transcript.
What can’t you export?
Anything you can’t see on Skool yourself, plus comment text, attached files and members’ emails.
- Communities you can’t see. A private community needs membership, and signed out, Skool shows only its About page.
- The comments themselves. You get each post’s comment count, not the replies.
- Files attached to lessons. You get their names, not the files.
- Members’ emails. Parsly blanks them.
Questions people ask
Does Skool have an export feature?
Not for posts or courses, as far as its help pages describe. The one export they mention is for admins: an Export button on the Members tab exports members' answers to membership questions.
Can I export a whole classroom at once?
One course at a time. Open a lesson in each course you want and collect it, and each becomes its own collection.
Do I need to be a member?
For a public community's feed, no Skool account is needed. A private community's posts and any course need you signed in to Skool as a member, because Parsly reads what you can see.
How many posts can I export?
Parsly offers 100, 300, 1,000 or all. It goes through the feed's pages for you, about 3 seconds a page, 30 posts a page.
Does it download course videos and files?
It lists each lesson's video link, where the video lives (YouTube, Loom, Vimeo, Wistia or Skool) and the names of attached files. It doesn't download the files themselves.
Does it export members' emails?
No. Parsly keeps each post author's name and profile link, and blanks every email before anything leaves your browser.
