# Review and download submissions

**Category:** [File Transfer](https://help.totalctrl.app/hc/totalctrl/totalctrl-help-center/en-US/categories/file-transfer)
**Updated:** 2026-08-19

## Find submissions

Open the **Requests** tab and click a request to see its detail page. Submissions are listed newest-first, each showing the uploader's name and email (if provided), their message, the time submitted, and the files included.
## Download files

- **One file** — download any individual file directly from a submission.
- **Whole submission** — download all of a submission's files together as a single ZIP archive.

## Close a request

When you've collected everything you need, choose **Close**. The public upload page stops accepting new files and shows an "unavailable" message. Existing submissions and files remain available to you. A request also closes itself automatically once it reaches its expiry date.
## Delete a request

**Delete** permanently removes the request along with every submission and all uploaded files. This is irreversible — use it only when the collected files should be erased.
## Tip: keep links private

Anyone with the request link can upload until it's closed. If a link may have been shared too widely, close the old request and create a fresh one. See [Collect files with a file request](collect-files-with-a-file-request) to start a new one.
