Reviewing simply means that the form fills have to be reopened, checked, and submitted again. You can do any of the following in the **Anonymous Forms** tab: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/36833d89-59e3-46a5-b491-e9aa1b524a85/Images/Documentation/anonyforms1(2).png) - Review one form at a time by clicking the **Review**link displayed against each anonymous form.

The path to these output files is mentioned in the **Output Path** box while [defining a form in the Form Definitions tab](/v1/docs/form-definitions).
