# Export & Print

## Export

The **{{icon:chart-bar size-4 inline-block align-text-center}} Export** button, located above the right end of the Control Panel on the ****{{icon:paper-clip size-4 inline-block align-text-center}} Submissions** page, allows you to download form submissions as a CSV file. The export data will include all form fields, timestamps, submitter information, current status, and a link to the submission. 

To initiate an export, you must first filter your submissions [by form.](submissions/managing_submissions/filters#forms) If you want to further narrow your dataset, select additional criteria from **Filters**. Once the desired data is displayed, click **Export**.

If successful, this message will appear: 
>Export started successfully. This may take a few minutes. The result will be emailed upon completion. Check your notification center if you do not see the email.

Your export will not work without a form filter selected. If no form is selected, this message will appear:
>Please select at least one form to export

When successful, you'll receive an email from Flow Forms at your account's email address containing a link to download your CSV file. File size will affect delivery time to your inbox. The link is valid for 7 days.

Exports are also available in your **Notification Center**, accessible by clicking your user name in the upper left corner. Completed exports are listed under **Submission Exports** and can be downloaded from this location.


## Print 
The **{{icon:printer size-4 inline-block align-text-center}} Print** button (beside **Export** at the top right of the Submissions Control Panel) allows you to download and print submissions. You can also bulk print groups of submissions in a single combined PDF. 

- **Print Selected Submissions:** Select submissions by clicking their individual checkboxes (to the left of the form title in each submission's header). A badge in the [Bulk Actions Toolbar](submissions/managing_submissions/Bulk-Actions-Toolbar) displays the number of submissions selected. Click **Print**. 

-  **Bulk Print Submissions:** To print or download a group of submissions to a combined PDF, first select from the [filter](submissions/managing_submissions/filters) options to display your desired dataset, then **select all** of the displayed submissions by clicking in the checkbox found in the [Bulk Actions Toolbar](submissions/managing_submissions/Bulk-Actions-Toolbar) (just under the search bar, below the**{{icon:document-duplicate size-4 inline-block align-text-center}} Forms** quick-filter). The checkboxes in each submission's header will display as selected. Click **Print**. 

When the **Print** button is selected, a modal window will display the number of submissions in your print request (*Ready to Print [#] Submissions*) with options to **Cancel** (exit without printing) or **Start Print Job** (proceed with printing).  A download progress bar will show your request's progress, and when complete, a **Download PDF** button will appear. The modal also provides access to _Recent Print Jobs_ for re-downloading. You will receive an email confirmation with a **Download PDF** link when your Print Job is complete. Your Print Job / Download link is also available in your Notification Center for 7 days.

- **Print a single submission:** Click the checkbox in a single submission's header, then the **Print** button, to follow the same process as above. **{{icon:printer size-4 inline-block align-text-center}} Print** also appears under **{{icon:cog-6-tooth size-4 inline-block align-text-center}} Options** on the right end of an individual submission's header. This approach will load the submission in a new window for printing.
