Single Export database button

Where they talk about it

Quotes

  • 2:18 "export database is now a single button. It used to be a dropdown that had the export history option" - Shows the UI change admins will notice right away.

Caveats mentioned

  • The export history option was removed from the button

Documented features match

  • No documented item matched. Not documented
  • Product documentation (partial, the article describes the broader feature or mentions this in passing): Export databases in the admin center, checked 2026-10-02. On the action ribbon of the environment details, choose Database, and then choose Create Database Export. Note: Describes a Database menu with Create Database Export, not the single Export database button with the operations-page flyout note; may predate this wave.

Docs checked on 2026-10-02: the match is against Microsoft's what's new pages for the wave as they were on that date. Microsoft keeps filling the documentation, so "no documented item" can go stale.
