-- Export wired to legacy `/event/exhibit/{id}/tracking/export` endpoint (CSV; confirm backend is live)
+- Export wired to V3 action endpoint `/v3/action/event_exhibit/{id}/tracking_export` (CSV/XLSX)
 
 **Remaining before demo:**
-- [ ] **Verify export endpoint** — `download_export__event_exhibit_tracking` calls legacy endpoint
-  `/event/exhibit/{exhibit_id}/tracking/export` — confirm it's live on the backend
+- [x] **Export endpoint** — V3 action endpoint confirmed live on backend (2026-03-16). Returns 403 if
+  `leads_api_access` is not enabled on the exhibit — expected behavior. Export button now gated in
+  UI: only renders when `$lq__exhibit_obj?.leads_api_access === true`. Enable via:
+  `PATCH /v3/crud/event_exhibit/{id}` with `{ "leads_api_access": true }`.
 - [x] **`allow_tracking` gate** — implemented (2026-03-16). QR scanner shows a warning card and
   blocks the add. Manual search shows a ShieldOff "Opt-Out" badge per row and guards `add_as_lead`.
   Opt-in model: `allow_tracking` must be explicitly `true` on the badge. Also added `allow_tracking`
