# Overview

Find the right guide for reading, filtering, tagging, exporting and measuring the answers your forms collect.

Every answer a customer sends is stored in **Powerful Contact Form Builder** under **Submissions**, whether or not an email notification reached you. This section is the routing page for everything you do with that data.

{% hint style="info" %}
Several features in this section — the analytics view, submission tags, notes and Timeline comments, and submission export — are not on every plan. Each page says so where it applies. See [Plans and billing](/settings/plans-and-billing.md).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Deleting a submission is permanent, and it also deletes the files that were uploaded with it. Export anything you might need before you clear the table.
{% endhint %}
