# Let people get a copy of their answers by email

## What
Until now, form fillers could choose to get an email confirming that their form had been submitted. They could not request a copy of their answers, even though they might want or need this.

This new feature lets people request a copy of their answers, which will be included in the optional confirmation email.

To help make sure that answers go to the right place, we use GOV.UK One Login to authenticate the form filler's email address. They can either use their existing GOV.UK One Login, or create a new one.

Form creators will be able to choose whether or not to enable this feature.

## Why
We were aware that form fillers not being able to receive a copy of their answers could be a potential blocker for some forms and processes.
A number of organisations told us that they were interested in this feature and wanted their users to have this option.

We’d previously considered asking form fillers if they wanted a copy of their answers at the point they chose whether to request a confirmation email. But it became clear that there were data security issues with this - for example, people could enter the wrong email address.

We decided that this feature would therefore need to wait until we’d found a more secure way to send users a copy of their answers.

The decision to use GOV.UK One Login allowed us to implement this feature. It also supports GDS strategy to integrate GOV.UK Forms with GOV.UK One Login.
