🚀 What is Salesforce Metadata Exporter?

Salesforce Metadata Exporter is a lightweight Chrome extension that allows Salesforce developers and technical admins to export Salesforce metadata only from a logged-in org into a downloadable ZIP file using the Metadata API.

It is designed for quick audits, reviews, backups of configuration, and development workflows — without using CLI tools or complex setup.

✅ What This Extension Does

With a single click, you can export Salesforce metadata such as:
- Custom Objects and Fields
- Validation Rules and Record Types
- Page Layouts
- Apex Classes and Triggers
- Flows (metadata only)
- Permission Sets
- Custom Metadata Types

You can choose what to export using a simple checkbox-based interface or use built-in presets like Apex Only or Object Model.

New and Improved Features
- Upload an existing package.xml file to automatically select metadata types and members
- Paste package.xml content directly from the clipboard
- Configure export timeout duration to support large enterprise orgs
- View real-time progress with persistent notifications during export
- Improved reliability for multi-tab and multi-org workflows
- Better feedback during long-running exports with elapsed time visibility

These enhancements improve usability, reliability, and support for large Salesforce environments.

🔐 Safe by Design
- Metadata only — no data records are accessed or exported
- No credentials stored — uses your existing Salesforce login session
- Manual export only — nothing runs automatically in the background
- No external servers — all exports happen locally in your browser

This makes the extension secure, privacy-friendly, and enterprise-ready.

👨‍💻 Who Is This For?
- Salesforce Developers
- Salesforce Architects
- Salesforce Consultants
- Release Managers
- Technical Admins

If you need a fast way to export Salesforce configuration without setting up Salesforce CLI or ANT, this tool is for you.

⭐ Why Install Salesforce Metadata Exporter?
- One-click metadata export
- Upload or paste package.xml for faster workflows
- Configurable timeout for large enterprise orgs
- Clear progress notifications during export
- No setup or command line required
- Clean ZIP output ready for review or version control
- Minimal permissions and Chrome Web Store–safe design
- Perfect for audits, troubleshooting, and pre/post deployment checks

⚠️ Important Notes
This extension does not export Salesforce data records
Salesforce login access is required
Metadata availability depends on your org permissions

🛠 Built For Developers
Salesforce Metadata Exporter follows Chrome Extension and Salesforce best practices and is actively designed for reliability, clarity, and security.

🔹 Privacy Practices
This extension does not collect, store, or transmit personal data.
All operations are performed locally using the active Salesforce session in your browser.

🚀 What is Salesforce Metadata Exporter?

Salesforce Metadata Exporter is a lightweight Chrome extension that allows Salesforce developers and technical admins to export Salesforce metadata configuration files directly from a logged-in org into a downloadable ZIP file using the Metadata API.

It is designed for quick audits, reviews, backups of configuration, and development workflows — without needing CLI tools or complex setups.

✅ What This Extension Does

With a single click, you can export Salesforce metadata such as:
• Custom Objects & Fields
• Validation Rules & Record Types
• Page Layouts & Compact Layouts
• Apex Classes & Triggers
• Aura & Lightning Web Components (LWC)
• Permission Sets & Profiles
• Custom Metadata Types
• Flows (metadata definitions only)

You can select what to export using a simple checkbox-based interface, built-in presets, or import an existing package.xml file.

🔥 New in v1.1.0 — Major Update

🗑️ destructiveChanges.xml Generation
• Mark individual metadata members for deletion using the trash icon on each row.
• A live "destructiveChanges.xml" preview tab shows your deletion manifest in real time.
• When you export, the downloaded ZIP automatically contains both package.xml (retrieve) and destructiveChanges.xml (deletion manifest) — no manual file creation needed.
• Safety-first design: exporting does NOT delete anything from your org. The manifest only takes effect when the ZIP is deployed using Salesforce CLI, Ant Migration Tool, or Workbench.
• A confirmation dialog lists every member marked for deletion before export, so nothing happens by accident.

💾 Saved Selection Presets
• Save your current metadata selections as a named preset with one click.
• Load any saved preset to instantly restore types and members.
• Delete presets you no longer need.
• All presets are stored locally in your browser — nothing leaves your machine.

🔍 Global Member Search
• A new "Members" search mode lets you search across all loaded member lists simultaneously — not just metadata type names.
• Find any component across your entire selection in real time.

⏹ Stop Export
• Cancel a running export at any time using the Stop button — no need to close the extension.

🗂️ Profile & Permission Set Downsizing
• Strip unwanted sub-sections from .profile and .permissionset XML files before download (e.g. classAccesses, fieldPermissions, objectPermissions, layoutAssignments, and more).
• Each sub-section is independently configurable — keep only what you need.
• Reduces download sizes and prevents layout conflicts in deployments.

🔥 Core Features (All Versions)
• Upload package.xml — Automatically select metadata types and members from an existing package file.
• Paste package.xml — Paste package XML from your clipboard to auto-select types. • Configurable Timeout — Customize the export timeout for large enterprise orgs (default: 30 minutes).
• Real-time Progress — View status, elapsed time, and download completion via persistent toast notifications.
• Dark / Light Theme — Full dark mode support for extended working sessions.
• Reliable Sessions — Auto-detects Salesforce instances and browser session cookies.

🔐 Safe by Design
• Metadata only — No business or customer data records are ever accessed or exported.
• No credentials stored — Uses your existing active Salesforce browser session.
• Local execution — All exports happen locally in your browser; no external servers involved.
• Read-only by default — destructiveChanges.xml is just a manifest file; nothing is deleted unless you explicitly deploy it.

⚠️ Important Notes
• This extension does NOT export Salesforce data records (Accounts, Contacts, etc.) — metadata configuration only.
• destructiveChanges.xml in the exported ZIP only deletes components when you deploy the package to a Salesforce org using a deployment tool.
• Salesforce login access is required.
• Metadata availability depends on your org permissions.

👨‍💻 Who Is This For?
• Salesforce Developers
• Salesforce Architects
• Release Managers
• Technical Admins / Consultants

If you need a fast way to export (or prepare deletion of) Salesforce configuration without setting up Salesforce CLI or ANT, this tool is for you.

⭐ Why Install Salesforce Metadata Exporter?
• One-click metadata export as a deployment-ready ZIP
• Generate destructiveChanges.xml for safe, auditable component deletion
• Save and reload named selection presets
• Upload or paste package.xml for faster workflows
• Search across all metadata members globally
• Strip oversized profile/permission set sections before download
• Configurable timeout for large enterprise orgs
• Stop export at any time
• Clear real-time progress notifications
• No setup or command line required
• Minimal permissions and Chrome Web Store–safe design
• Perfect for audits, troubleshooting, and pre/post deployment checks

🔹 Privacy Practices This extension does not collect, store, or transmit personal data. All operations are performed locally using the active Salesforce session in your browser.
