# Export form submissions to CSV

Export selected submissions when you need to review or share response data outside the Forms page.

## Export selected responses

1. Open **Forms > Form Submissions**.
2. Choose **Active** or **Archived**.
3. Use **Search submissions**, sorting, filters, or visible columns to find the responses you want.
4. Select the checkbox for each response to include.
5. Select **Export CSV** in the selected-response toolbar.

The export uses the rows that are selected after the grid's current filtering and sorting. It downloads a file named `form-submissions.csv`.

## Understand the CSV columns

The first columns identify the response:

* **Form Name**
* **Event Name**
* **Submitted By**
* **Email**
* **Submitted At**
* **Event Date**
* **Archived**
* **Archived At**

Answer columns use the field's question text. Structured answers add readable parts such as **Name**, **Email**, **Date and Time**, **Address**, or a recipe name and quantity. Multiple selections share one cell with the selected values separated by semicolons. Empty answers remain blank.

The CSV export uses the browser's time zone for submission and archive timestamps. Event dates remain calendar dates. Export does not change the form, the submissions, or any linked event.

Export is available in the selected-response toolbar after at least one row is selected. Use [Archive, restore, or delete form submissions](/reference/forms/form-submissions/archive-and-delete-submissions.md) for status changes instead of exporting as a backup.
