# Read and handle responses

The **Responses** tab lists every submission with its answers. Use it to see what came in and to keep track of what you have dealt with.

## Read responses

Each row is one submission: when it arrived, then one column per field. The tab name shows how many responses there are. Click **Refresh** to load new ones.

## Mark them handled

The **Internal** column is for your team only.

-   Click **New** to mark a response **Handled**, and again to put it back.
-   Click **Add internal note** to write a private note, for example "Replied by email".
-   Filter the list with **All**, **New** or **Handled**.

The respondent never sees the handled mark or the note. They are also left out of the webhook and the notification email.

## Export

Click **Export CSV** to download the responses for a spreadsheet. The file includes whether each one is handled and its note.

## Delete a response

Use the trash icon at the end of the row. Only the form's author and workspace owners and admins can delete responses.

## Who can see them

Every member of the workspace can read responses and mark them handled. Editing and publishing the form is limited to its author and workspace owners and admins.
