Reset your form

  1. Open the Reset Editing window: click the ••• menu at the top and select Reset Editing from the dropdown.

    You’ll open the Reset Editing window.

  2. Choose how to reset your form from the available reset options.

  3. Once you’ve chosen your reset option, click Reset.

    A confirmation prompt will appear.

  4. Click Confirm to proceed with the reset process.

Note

A History snapshot of your form is saved before every reset, so a reset can be undone. If you reset your form by mistake, refer to the Restore to history version section to recover an earlier version.

Reset Editing options

Inside the Reset Editing window, you’ll see three reset options:

Reset Editing Options in PlatoForms

  • Reset to Empty Form
    Deletes all fields, including those converted from the PDF and any fields you’ve added or edited. You’ll be left with a blank form layout.

  • Reset to PDF Original
    Reverts the form back to its initial version, exactly as it looked when first converted from your uploaded PDF.

  • Reset to AI Suggested
    Automatically applies AI-suggested fields based on your PDF’s layout and content.

    Note

    This option is always shown, but it restores AI-suggested fields only if you previously used the AI Recognition feature on your form. Without a detection, it resets to an empty form. See Auto-detect form with AI to learn how.
