The Submissions list in the backend is where all of that lives: you can read entries, edit them, search and filter, change which columns you see, delete what you don't need, and export everything to a file. ## [Editing Form Submissions](#editing-form-submissions) Need to fix a typo in someone's entry, add an internal note, or change a submission's status? You can open any submission and edit it directly from the backend. Just head to the Submissions list and click the submission's ID. The edit screen shows the data the visitor submitted, a status selector, an internal notes field for your team, and read-only details like IP, country, device, and the page the form was submitted from.

No hidden fields or extra setup required. You can view this data on each submission, show it as columns in the list, or include it in an export.

Convert Forms gives you four filters to narrow the list down fast: by period, by form, by keyword, and by status. You can combine them to answer questions like "show me all submissions for the Contact form from last month that are still unpublished."

With the Columns picker you decide exactly which columns appear, in what order. Show the fields you care about, hide the rest, and drag them into the order that makes sense for you. Your layout is saved per form and remembered across sessions, so the list always looks the way you left it.

Convert Forms uses a two-step approach: trash first (reversible), then empty the trash to delete permanently.

Export them to a CSV or JSON file to import into a CRM, a spreadsheet, or any other system. You choose the form, the period, the status, and exactly which columns end up in the file.
