# Retrieve or delete a submission

One sign-up with every answer. `DELETE` on the same path deletes it.

`GET /forms/{id}/submissions/{submissionId}`

**Also documents:** `DELETE /forms/{id}/submissions/{submissionId}`

## GET /forms/{id}/submissions/{submissionId}

One sign-up with every answer. `DELETE` on the same path deletes it.

## Example

Reading needs `forms:read` and deleting needs `forms:write`.
