+### Exporting raw, unformatted question results
+
+To export the raw, unformatted rows, you'll need to append `?format_rows=false` to the URL Metabase generates. For example, if you create a public link for a CSV download, the URL would look like:
+
+```html
+https://www.example.com/public/question/cf347ce0-90bb-4669-b73b-56c73edd10cb.csv?format_rows=false
+```
+
+By default, Metabase will export the results of a question that include any formatting you added (for example, if you formatted a column with floats to display as a percentage (o.42 -> 42%)).
+
+See docs for the [export format endpoint](https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/api/public#get-apipubliccarduuidqueryexport-format).
+
 ## Simulating drill-through with public links
 
 Metabase's automatic [drill-through](https://www.metabase.com/learn/questions/drill-through) won't work on public dashboards because public links don't give people access to your raw data.
