Responses

Browse individual responses in a spreadsheet view with session details.

The Responses tab shows every individual response to your form in a spreadsheet-style table. Use it to drill into specific respondents, review contact details, and understand individual journeys.

A response is someone who answered at least one question, or reached the end screen. Someone who opened your form but never interacted with it (a page view) isn't a response - it's counted as a view in Analytics instead, and never appears here or in the CSV export.

Spreadsheet view

Select a form to view all its responses in a table. Each row is one completed submission. If the same respondent completes your form more than once (for example, they revisit the link and submit again), each completion gets its own row with its own answers, timestamp, and detail panel - they aren't merged together. A respondent who is still filling out the form (In Progress or Abandoned) shows as a single row for that attempt until they finish. Columns include:

ColumnDescription
StatusCompleted, In Progress, or Abandoned
Contact fieldsEmail, name, phone, company, job title, and other fields from a Details node (if your form has one)
DeviceDesktop, mobile, or tablet
BrowserChrome, Safari, Firefox, etc.
CountryWhere the respondent was located
Time spentHow long they spent on the form
Per-question answersEach question node gets its own column showing that respondent's answer

Response statuses

Every response has one of three statuses:

  • Completed - the respondent reached the end screen. Their answers are final and the full response is recorded, including all contact details and session metadata.
  • In Progress - the respondent has started answering but hasn't reached the end screen yet. Their session is still inside the form's Keep progress for window (7 days by default), counted since the respondent last made progress, so they may still come back and finish. Partial answers are already saved - you can see how far they got in the detail panel.
  • Abandoned - the Keep progress for window has passed since the respondent last made progress, and they never reached the end screen. At this point it's unlikely they'll return. The partial answers they gave before leaving are still visible.

A response moves from In Progress to Abandoned automatically once the form's Keep progress for window (7 days by default, set under Behavior) has passed since the respondent last made progress. There's nothing you need to do - the status updates on its own. You can't manually change a response's status.

Filtering and sorting

The table toolbar has filters that narrow which responses you see. They work on any form:

  • Status - show only Completed, In Progress, or Abandoned responses.
  • Date range - limit to responses from a specific window.

Click a column header to sort by that column. Filters and search combine, and the CSV export respects whatever is currently applied - what you see in the table is what you get.

Your filters, sort, and the open response are also saved in the page URL, so you can bookmark a filtered view or share the link with a teammate and they'll land on the same thing.

Rearranging columns

Drag a column header left or right to reorder the table to suit how you read it. The order is saved per form, so each form remembers its own layout the next time you open it.

Export to CSV

Click the download icon in the table toolbar to export your responses as a CSV file. The export respects your current search and filters - what you see in the table is what you get. To export specific responses only, tick their checkboxes first: when rows are selected, just those rows are exported.

Each row is one response. Alongside the answer columns, the file includes fields the table doesn't show:

  • Completed at timestamp (in addition to submitted at)
  • Last activity timestamp - when the respondent last made progress
  • Transcription text for video and audio answers - the answer column contains the automatic transcription
  • Media links - a separate column per question with secure links to the original video, audio, or uploaded files
  • Device, browser, country, and time spent

Media links are signed URLs that work for anyone who has them, for 7 days. Treat an exported CSV like the response data it contains - share it deliberately.

On the Free plan, the export includes the responses visible within your plan's response limit.

Individual response detail

Click any row to open the detail panel on the right side. This shows the full picture for that respondent:

  • All answers in order - each question with the respondent's answer, displayed in the order they appeared in the form
  • Media playback - play audio and video responses directly in the panel, with automatic transcriptions shown alongside the player
  • Contact information - name, email, phone, company, and other contact fields (if your form has a Details node)
  • Session metadata - device, browser, operating system, country, city, referrer URL, and time spent

Use the arrow buttons at the top of the detail panel to move between responses, or click a different row in the spreadsheet to jump to it.

Agreements

If your form has an agreement (a consent checkbox on a Details node), each response shows the wording the respondent agreed to at the moment they submitted - not whatever the agreement currently says - and, for a PDF agreement, the exact document they accepted.
