Can my clients resume a multi-page form if they accidentally close it

Question

My online form consists of multiple pages. If my clients accidentally close the multi-page form, can they resume it where they left off?


Answer

Absolutely! Your clients can easily pick up where they left off if they accidentally close a multi-page form. We offer two options to enable this feature:

  • Form auto-save option

    When your clients open and fill out the form, their progress is automatically saved. Even if they close the form and return to it later, their previous responses will still be there.

  • Save for later option

    This adds a Save for Later button to your form. When clients click this option, they receive a link. They can use this link to return to their unfinished form within 60 days to complete and submit it.

    Form available and expired

These options ensure a smooth experience for your clients, even if they accidentally close the form or need to return to it later to finish. You can choose the option that fits your needs best. Here’s how to set them up:


Form auto-save option

  1. Go to the Dashboard and select your desired form.

  2. Click the Settings (gear) button at the top right of the form, then click Invitation.

    Form available and expired

  3. Fill in the required information in the Invitation panel.

    For detailed instructions, check the Set your invitation section in the User Documentation.

  4. After configuring your invitation info, scroll down and check the Form are saved automatically option.
