How to export a single vault

I have multiple vaults for multiple organizations I support. I have a need to export one (or maybe two) vaults to another password manager to comply with changes those organizations are making. The only option I see is either exporting all my vaults using the .1PUX format, or all vaults using .CSV format, which would export only the logins and no other categories. Neither of these options support exporting individual vaults.

Personally, I'm not moving away from 1Password, but there really needs to be a way to export a single vault, as there used to be in v7. Am I missing something...is there a way to do this with v8?

1Password Version: 8.9.15
Extension Version: 2.6.0
OS Version: macOS 13.1
Browser:_ Safari

    Hello folks, 

    Thank you for taking the time to explain your use case so that we can make 1Password better for everyone. Currently, the export tool will export your entire account and there's isn't an option to export a single vault or a select list of items. While I can't make any promises, I've filed a feature request to have the team look into adding such an option in the future.

    That being said, as a workaround, you can use Travel Mode to temporarily remove all vaults but the vault(s) that you'd like to export from the 1Password app on your Mac, Linux device, or Windows PC. When Travel Mode is turned on, the export will only contain items from the vaults that you've marked as Safe for Travel:

    1. Use Travel Mode to temporarily remove all but the vault that you'd like to export: Use Travel Mode to remove vaults from your devices when you travel
    2. Use the 1Password desktop app to export data to a CSV or 1PUX file: How to export your data from the 1Password desktop app
    3. Confirm that the exported file only contains data from the vault that you wanted to export.
    4. Turn off Travel Mode so that all of your vaults appear in the desktop app again.

    Thanks for directing me to this option. However, it hasn't worked for me. 

    I cannot find Travel Mode in the Profile tab.

    I am running Mac OS 15.3, and 1Password for Mac 8.10.60.

    Profile is on the left hand side bar rather than top right of the window.

    The solution was in effect 2 years ago, have changes since then made this no longer a solution??

    Thanks

    I don't think the 1password team is really listening to the voice of the customer.  I need an easy way to just export single vault.  you've given work arounds that require extra effort and time an my part.  as I read all the various replies in this tread, 1password seems to say "just use our workaround". and I'll pass your requests to the "team".  In over three years doesn't seem like the team is doing anything about this.  can you just tell me:   1.  is the 'team' going to address the requests to be able to export all the info from a single vault or not?   and 2. if they are going to address the request, when will it be available.   Right now, I kinda frustrated with 1Password.

      This feature is clearly not the priority it should be.  I'm here from the MSP program and exporting a client vault is a critical feature.  There only being a work around utilizing travel mode screams unprofessional.  That said, I'm glad it at least worked...
      I urge the 1Password team to prioritize individual vault exports as a feature.

      Since the previous community solutions were posted more than a year ago I'm sharing an agent assisted script I wrote before checking to see if those were available.
      I think the only real advantages of my script is that it is a little more readable so someone who is security minded can review it before running if they choose.

      I have to agree with others that as simple of a problem this is to solve, it is a little sad that it is still an outstanding request after multiple years.
