Question about submitting USMLE report

I apologize if this has been asked before... I just couldn't find it with search.

Right now I only have my step 1 score, but I am expecting my step 2 score to come back in october, which I don't want to automatically submit......
But under the USMLE transcript section, I only see yes or no.... I didn't see a manual submission...... If i click yes, does that mean once my step 2 gets back it gets automatically transmitted to the programs?
Basically I am looking for an option that says go ahead and send my step 1, and hold off to step 2 until I personally see my score and decide.........which button do i click?

Thank you very much!!

Apparently this year there's only a manual submission option. So clicking "yes" means "I want to send all the Step scores that are currently available" and nothing more. When your Step 2 comes out, you'll need to do it again.

FWIW, you will get asked about your Step 2 plans. Don't lie about them.

Thank you for the info!
No I will never lie on the interview 🙂
The reason I asked is I am worried that I might have failed CS and I don't want to send in a score report that only has fail with no 2nd attempt with a pass....
If I really fail CS(hope not), i will hold off to my report, and if the interviewer asks, i will say "unfortunately I did not pass, but I am taking it at the earliest possible date"
And if I get lucky and nobody brings it up, I will just stay low......

And then when it comes out that you failed it and the program didn't know about it, that will hurt you...

Well if i really did fail, I know I can't hide.... I eventually will have to send in my CK for them to rank me, so they eventually will see, but hopefully by that time I will have my pass.....

Thanks for the suggestion!
