Survey123 How to remove Edit and Resend option

Is it possible to remove the Edit and Resend option in Survey123? When you use Survey123 in the app, after submitting a survey, all submitted surveys are listed in the Sent box in the app. If you click on a submission entry, you get the following options: view, edit and resend, copy data to a new survey. Is it possible to remove or deactivate the edit and resend option for all users? When anonymous users click it and try to edit an entry, they get an error and the survey moves to the Outbox. This is annoying and confusing for users. I would like to just turn off the edit and resend option.

Edit: I did figure out how to make it so that anonymous users can edit an entry without getting an error - https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-questions/anonymous-user-not-able-to-edit-survey123-e...

In Survey123 Connect, you can disable the Sent folder. This will prevent the end users from being able to see any of their sent items.

Alternatively, you can keep the Sent inbox enabled, but disable the ability to copy sent surveys to a new survey, or disable the ability for sent surveys to be edited.

This is exactly what I'm looking for "Disallow sent surveys to be edited". Where is this setting? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Assuming you're using Survey123 Connect to publish your surveys, open the survey in S123 Connect. Then click the Options tab at the very bottom. And from there, you will see the Sent folder options.

I am using Web not Connect. Is this not possible in Survey123 Web?

I do all my survey development using Survey123 Connect and not the Web Designer. But I looked in the Web Designer and I'm not seeing any options to disable the sent inbox. Furthermore, if I look in Esri's documentation, I see where you can disable the Sent folder in Connect here, but in the equivalent documentation for the Web Designer here, there is no such option to disable the Sent folder. So, I don't think it's possible to do that using the Web Designer.
