FILING ACCOUNTS ONLINE
Just click the Do Next Task button and follow the screen instructions to file-online. TDF submits the XML/XBRL accounts file to the CH XML Gateway for electronic processing. A copy of the submission is saved by TDF (and can be viewed in the Message Log  (the  message type is Submission) . Once a set of accounts has been submitted, the data is locked and cannot be changed.

POLL CH GATEWAY FOR RESPONSE/ACCEPTANCE
Do next Task or click the Poll CH Responses button. Response times vary between a few minutes to several hours, depending on how busy CH is at the time. Companies House may send a ‘PENDING' response in the first instance, followed by an 'ACCEPT'' or 'REJECT' response. 'Out of hours' submissions will generate a "FORMS NOT PROCESSED' response. The program will deal with these accordingly and store the results in the Message Log. Should the accounts be rejected you can review the error messages in the log. Correct the errors, validate and submit again.
