I suggest you ...

allow for different types of file export formats for archives

While it is great that you can export archives as a CSV file, many tweets have commas as part of the message and that breaks the Excel import. Suggest that you allow other delimiters like tab or special characters that you can specify.

    Katie ConlonKatie Conlon shared a merged idea: change the Twitter archive format from CSV to Excel so commas in tweets don't get confused with comma separators.  ·   ·

        Perhaps the delimiter could simply be two commas, back-to-back? Seems like this would not often happen naturally in Tweets, and allows the comma symbol to remain as the delimiter...

        YES. Pls hop on this ASAP or do something that changes commas in tweets to another character
