We're happy to share an improvement to the Idea Export v2. Previously, vote counts only reflected votes cast from January 01, 2021 onwards, which could cause discrepancies between the vote totals shown in Control and those in your exported datasets.

With our latest enhancement, the Idea Export now provides a complete, all-time count of votes for each idea, including votes cast before 2021. This means the vote figures in your exports will now align with what you see in Control, giving you a more accurate view of community engagement.

As a result, we've removed the previous "Historical Date Limits" note regarding vote counts. If you have any questions, feel free to drop them below.
