# DNS zone file export

> Download DNS records as a zone file or share a public records page.

From the domain records page, you can download a DNS zone file or share a public link to the records. This saves you from copying SPF, DKIM, MX, and DMARC records one by one.

## When to use a zone file

If your DNS provider supports zone file imports, upload the file instead of entering each record manually.

## When to share the records page

Share the public records page when:

* You want someone to review or troubleshoot the records without signing in to Loops.
* A developer, agency, or IT team is handling DNS for you.

## How to export a zone file or share the records page

1. Go to **Settings → Domain** in Loops, or [open the domain records page directly](https://app.loops.so/sending-domain).
2. Download and import the zone file, or copy the public records URL and send it to whoever manages your DNS.
3. Once the records are in place, return to Loops and click **Verify Records**.

## Importing a zone file in common providers

For other providers, search their documentation for "zone file import" or "BIND zone file."

## After you import

DNS changes can take up to an hour to propagate. Once they do, click **Verify Records** in Loops to confirm the configuration.
