Description
## Context from first instance
Currently the submission ID is provided to form fillers only if they download a copy of their answers (on the confirmation page), **when saving answers is ON**
To help us troubleshoot potential lost/missing submissions -- we might consider adding this to the confirmation page by default.

## Context from second instance
This emerged again in our conversation with a team at Finance that was creating workaround scripts to be able to provide each form filler with their submission ID by email once they submitted a form --> #7418
This could be mitigated by providing the submission ID clearly on the confirmation page upon submit, this is already provided in the "copy of submission" that can be downloaded **if "saving answers" is ON**.
