None of my Kibana dashboard or viz have a "Download to CVS" option showing up in 8.5.3. What am I missing? Below is my setup: I've installed the 8.5.3 stack of elasticsearch and kibana from [this](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.3/docker.html#docker-file) official doc. My kibana has the following config: ```auto # Default Kibana configuration for docker target server.host: "0.0.0.0" monitoring.ui.container.elasticsearch.enabled: true xpack.security.authc.providers: basic.basic1: order: 0 anonymous.anonymous1: order: 1 credentials: username: "${KIBANA_ANON_USERNAME}" password: "${KIBANA_ANON_PASSWORD}" xpack.reporting.roles.enabled: false ``` I've set up a the target user as per [this](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/8.5/secure-reporting.html#reporting-roles-user-api) doc: User Role: ```auto curl -s -X PUT --cacert config/certs/ca/ca.crt -u "${ELASTIC_USERNAME}:${ELASTIC_PASSWORD}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://elasticsearch-1:9200/_security/user/"${KIBANA_ANON_USERNAME}" -d "{ \"password\" : \"${KIBANA_ANON_PASSWORD}\", \"roles\" : [\"reporting_user_role\"] }" ``` User Profile: ```auto curl -s -X PUT --cacert config/certs/ca/ca.crt -u "${ELASTIC_USERNAME}:${ELASTIC_PASSWORD}" -H "kbn-xsrf: reporting" -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://kibana:5601/api/security/role/anon_user_role -d '{ "name": "custom_reporting_role", "metadata": {}, "transient_metadata": { "enabled": true }, "elasticsearch": { "cluster": [], "indices": [ { "names": ["why*"], "privileges": ["read", "view_index_metadata", "all"], "allow_restricted_indices": false } ], "run_as": [] }, "kibana": [ { "base": [], "feature": { "dashboard": ["minimal_read", "generate_report", "download_csv_report"], "discover": ["minimal_read", "generate_report"], "canvas": ["minimal_read", "generate_report"], "visualize": ["minimal_read", "generate_report"] }, "spaces": ["*"] } ] }' ``` I'm unable to view a "Download to CSV" in any of my viz / dashboards.

Hi @blueren, what type of visualizations are those panel made of? Are they made of Lens visualizations? If you open the visualization in the editor would you see the `Share` or `Download CSV` button on the top right navigation bar? ---

@Marco_Liberati , I've just created a couple of viz using TSVB, and a datatable. With a very basic count. I don't see any option anywhere to get a Download to CSV option. Attached below is a sample viz. I've currently loggend in using the 'elastic' user, which is supposed to be a superadmin of sorts right? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/1/91d01ce9185d2810cde43ce5a6d07380b18ddf26.png) ---

For Agg based viz, you need to enable `Show toolbar` under `Options` tab to display the `Export` link on the data table. ---

When I open a visualization -\> inspect -\> Downlowd CSV is visible. But when I make a bunch of vizualiations as part of a dashboard and click on the gear symbol against each individual viz, I'm unable to view the download option for CSV ---

"Download CSV" won't be visible through the context menu/gear icon for agg based visualisation. Enable the `Show toolbar` option to be able to download CSV from aggregation based data table. ---

Thanks. Where do I find the `show toolbar` option? Is it at the viz level or the dashbaord level? A screenshot would be most helpful! ---

The `Downloas as CSV` action should be visible in the nested context menu of the panel: ![Screenshot 2023-01-09 at 10.13.29](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/4/b44e91c0082b368009767a38ea0b8d18a801b6f7.jpeg) ---
