# Manage submissions

Share the submission link, brand the page, read answers and export them.

Open a request from **Exchange › Requests** to manage it.

## Sharing the link

Everyone you listed under **Ask** gets the link by email. The **Submission URL** with **Copy URL** lets you share it yourself as well, for example in an existing email thread or, for open requests, on your website.

## Branding the page

Under **Guest page** you can set a **logo**, a **wallpaper** and a **background gradient** for this request. Changes save right away. If you set nothing, the request inherits the branding of your group or organisation.

## Reading what comes in

You get a **New submission** notification for each one. The **Submissions** tab offers several views:

- **Senders**: one row per person, with their status.
- **Response** and **Responses**: the answers as they were filled in.
- **By question**: all answers to one field side by side.
- **Files**: every uploaded file.
- **Table**: a spreadsheet-like grid.

Everything is decrypted on your device as you view it.

> **Security details**
> Readers are members of the request's group: **Add reader** wraps the group key to their exchange public key with ECIES, **Remove reader** takes the wrapped copy away (what they already decrypted stays with them). A sender's **Retract** within 24 hours is a signed challenge from the sender's throw-away key; the server then removes the encrypted submission and marks it withdrawn. Exports are decrypted on your device; nothing leaves it in clear.

## Exporting

- **Download CSV** exports the answers as a spreadsheet.
- **Download file** saves a single uploaded file.
- **Export to Databeamer Drive** copies all files into a folder in your Drive, so they outlive the request's retention period.

## Readers and settings

- **People** lists who can read the answers. **Add reader** and **Remove reader** change it; readers must have an account.
- **Edit request** changes title, message and deadline. **Save changes** applies them.
- **Delete request** removes the request and all submissions.
- The **Activity** tab shows who submitted, retracted, read or exported, and when.

## What senders can do

A sender can **retract** a submission for 24 hours after sending it. After the deadline, or once the request is fulfilled, the page tells them it is no longer accepting submissions. See [Answer a request](https://databeamer.eu/en/docs/recipients/answer-a-request) for their side.
