# Submissions & Analytics overview

Every answer to a form arrives on its Submissions tab, from share links and requests alike. Read it there, take it out, or get an email when it arrives.

## Where answers arrive

Every answer to a form arrives on the form’s **Submissions** tab, whether it came through a share link or a request. The tab has three views: **List** shows one row per submission, **Summary** adds up the answers per question, and **Analytics** shows how many people open, start and finish the form. An answer to a request also shows on that request, on the [Requests](https://formstep.io/docs/requests/overview/) page.

The Submissions tab: answers from the public link and from requests in one list.

## Download, connect or get an email

Download answers as CSV or Excel, or one submission as a PDF. To send each new answer to another tool on its own, connect an [integration](https://formstep.io/docs/integrations/overview/). To hear about it, turn on an email to yourself when someone submits, and a confirmation to the respondent.
