What happens next:

- Any files you have attached, or that the applicant has sent to you in response, will be stored in the Files tab of the applicant's profile.
- Any replies from the applicant will show up as notifications on your dashboard. (The notification gives you the option to mark it as "read" so it disappears from your dashboard.)
