This getting started guide article covers the processes of managing your Caldera Forms entries. More specifically, this article outlines how to export, delete, view, and edit form entries. This can be easily mistaken for exporting and importing form configuration, which is an entirely different process.

Export, Delete, View, And Edit A Form Entry
We recommend using this feature before updating WordPress core or the Caldera Forms plugin to ensure you don’t lose any of your form entries.
Steps To Export, Delete, View, And Edit A Form Entry
Step 1 : Go To The Caldera Forms Admin Page
Starting from the WordPress Dashboard, you can navigate to the Caldera Forms Admin Page by hovering over the Caldera Forms icon and in the drop-down menu clicking on Forms.

You can navigate to the Entries page by hovering over 1 form from the list of built forms and clicking on Entries. By default, you are in the Active tab.

Export all of your entries by clicking on Export All. Export individual entries by clicking on the check-box beside the entries, then in the Bulk Actions drop-down menu select Export Selected and then click on Apply. You receive a prompt to Save the file to your local computer.
Step 4 : Delete The Form Entry Or Entries
Delete a single entry by clicking on the Trash button in the right column on the entry you are removing. Delete multiple entries by clicking on the check-box beside the entries, then in the Bulk Actions drop-down menu select Move to Trash, then click on Apply.

Restore an entry by clicking on the Trash tab, then clicking on Restore in the last column of the entry.
