Answers.Text: This is correct, but a couple of notes:
  * Use "Export Activities" and not "Download Spreadsheet" - the latter only works for a few thousand records at a time.
  * This will NOT export attachments - but if you want a CSV format, then you either don't have any, or have already accepted that as a limitation of the format.

  You should be able to do this yourself but perhaps in more goes, depending on the number of activities.
  
  If you select activities from the Search menu SearchKit you should get the option to export the results to CSV in the actions menu?
  
  For example I selected Search Activities from the Search menu, entered some activity types and a date range and pressed Search. In the actions menu when I get the result I have the *Export activities* option.
