My blog post about exporting any webpart from a SharePoint Page is one of the most read articles on my blog. I use this method a lot. Now what I want to do is to simplify the process. Inspired by my colleague Dan Saedén’s awesome bookmarklet for reading and updating web properties, I decided to make my own bookmarklet. That was easy. Now we can export any web part from any SharePoint page without even looking at any ids in the html markup and assembling the export url manually. Just add the bookmarklet or run the javascript code in the browser console. The code (js and bookmarklet) is on Github. Here is an animated gif that explains how to use it:

[…] Creating a bookmarklet for Exporting Web Parts […]

Seems to be an awesome piece of work! Unfortunately I encounter an error: I’ve downloaded the file with your bookmarklet. But maybe I used the bookmarklet on the wrong site, to get the webpart? Thanks in advance!

Works like a charm! thank you very much for this :D
