Can I still export to Sheets?

Yes. CSV exports open directly in Google Sheets or Excel.

How often does data refresh?

Metrics are pulled from YouTube's API on a regular schedule and on demand when you load the dashboard.

Does it keep history?

Yes, up to your plan's history window — 28 days free, up to 365 days on the top tier.

Can teammates see the same numbers?

Yes, workspaces are shared on team plans.

Retire the weekly YouTube analytics spreadsheet

Almost every multi-channel creator has the same file: one tab per channel, updated by hand on Monday, out of date by Wednesday, and quietly abandoned by month three.

The problem with the Studio workflow

Manual reporting fails for a predictable reason — it depends on someone remembering. The spreadsheet is also where errors live: mismatched date ranges, stale rows, and metrics copied from the wrong channel.

What YT Manager does differently

Numbers refresh automatically from YouTube's API — nothing to copy
Identical date ranges across channels, so rows are actually comparable
Trends and rankings computed for you instead of with formulas
CSV export when a spreadsheet is still the required deliverable

YouTube Studio vs YT Manager

YouTube Studio

Correct data, but you transcribe it by hand.

YT Manager

The same data, maintained for you, exportable when needed.

Feature	The alternative	YT Manager
Update effort	Manual every week	Automatic
Date range consistency	Error-prone	Enforced
Cross-channel totals	Formulas	Built in
Still get a CSV	Yes	Yes

Is this the right fit for you?

Use YT Manager if

You maintain a manual reporting sheet for two or more channels
Your reporting slips whenever the week gets busy

Probably not for you if

Your spreadsheet mixes YouTube with unrelated business data you must keep together
