The Responses tab lists each response with its status, who sent it, when, and where its file went. Statuses are Started, In progress, Submitted, Processed, Waiting at a stage and Abandoned. A person without an account shows as Anonymous.

Opening one shows the Answers, the Language, the Output it made (or Record only) and the Activity timeline. Export CSV exports the responses.
