Slack offers two options to export data from a workspace: Standard Export and Corporate Export.

• Standard Export
  On any plan, Workspace Owners and Admins can use Standard Export to export public channel content from their workspace: messages and links to files included.
• Corporate Export 
  On the Plus plan, Workspace Owners can apply to access a self-service tool called Corporate Export. This type of export includes content from public and private channels and direct messages. If Corporate Export is enabled for your workspace, Standard Export will not be available. 

Tip: Read more about Slack export options by plan in our Guide to Slack import and export tools. You can also learn how to read Slack data exports.

 Use Standard Export for public data

Standard Export is available to Workspace Owners and Admins on any Slack plan. This tool will export all public channel content from a workspace.

Note: This export includes all data from public channels — you can't be selective. If you're importing your data into another workspace, you'll have the option to pick the messages and files you'd like to migrate.

Use Corporate Export

On the Plus plan, Workspace Owners can apply to access Corporate Export. This self-service tool allows Workspace Owners to export content from public and private channels and direct messages as needed and permitted by law. 

Apply for Corporate Export

Note: If your application to use Corporate Export is approved and you've enabled the tool, the option to use Standard Export (to export only public channel data) won't be available. 

Schedule recurring Corporate Exports

If your application to use Corporate Export has been approved, you can schedule this export to occur daily, weekly, or monthly.
