# Exporting and Clearing Form Data

Over time, forms will continue to collect data and form managers may request the data be cleaned out. An important step before clearing out form data is to make a backup by exporting the data to a spreadsheet.

## **Backing Up Form Data**

1. Click **Reports** tab.
2. Click **Form Analysis** report.
3. Select the form from the list. You can even use the filter options on the left.
4. Click **Print** and select **Export Summary to Excel**.

This generates a summary of responses in the form in an Excel spreadsheet download.

## **Clearing the Data in the Form**

1. Select the form.
2. Click the **Settings** tab.
