Export Disavow File to Google Search Console
After your link audit is done you need to manually upload to Google Search Console.
While it is possible to download link data with our Google Search Console integration, it is not automated for uploading disavow files.

Full Disavow File Export
You can download the most current disavow file using the download link in your LRT Account settings for upload into Google Search Console.
LRT Classic
To create and export a Google Disavow file, you need to use the “Export Google Disavow file”-function.
The data will be downloaded in a correct format and can directly be uploaded into the Google Search Console (see below)
The text format is Linux compatible, made for the Google Disavow Tool. On Windows you need to open it in a text editor capable of displaying line feeds correctly, which some of versions of Windows Notepad do not.
Windows users: please do not open the file in the Notepad, please use Atom or Wordpad.
While Windows Wordpad could open it, we recommend a professional text editor for all SEO work, and our current favorite is the open source editor Atom
