# Why can’t I print or export extension content?

**Cause:**\
Currently, **Tableau does not support printing or exporting** content rendered inside dashboard extensions (like WriteBackExtreme), because extensions are loaded in secure iframes.

**Workaround / Recommendation:**\
Yes, while you can't print the extension itself, you **can still use the WriteBack data** in a printable way.

**How:**

* Join or relate the data written by the extension (e.g., to Snowflake, SQL Server)
* Bring that data back into Tableau using a standard data connection
* Visualize the data inside a **native Tableau worksheet**, which **can be printed or exported**

**Note:**\
Tableau is actively working to improve extension print/export support in future releases.
