When preparing a new form for public launch or cleaning up test submissions, administrators can delete individual responses or manage archived submission records.
Deleting test responses before launch
Navigate to Forms in the CMS dashboard.
Click on the number in the Responses column for your form.
Review the response list and locate the test submissions you wish to remove.
Select the checkbox next to each test response, or use the top checkbox to select all test rows.
Click Delete and confirm the deletion.
Restoring deleted responses
If a legitimate parent or student response was deleted by mistake, you can toggle the responses view filter to view deleted submissions:
Inside the form's response table, change the view filter to Deleted Responses.
Check the box next to the response you want to recover.
Click Restore to return the record to the active response roster.
đĄ Best-Practice Adoption Tip: Preserve Audit Trails with CSV Backups
Always export a complete CSV backup of your form responses before conducting bulk deletions or seasonal roll-offs. Storing a local copy in your school office drive ensures you maintain a permanent audit trail even if records are archived.
