Address autocomplete powered by Google Maps

Address autocomplete reduces typing and errors by suggesting verified addresses as users type.

With Address autocomplete, you can:

• Suggest addresses as users type, reducing errors and speeding up form completion
• Auto-fill address components such as street, city, state, and postal code
• Enable with one click using default settings — no configuration required
• Use your own Google Maps API key when publishing forms on a custom domain

Address autocomplete works with existing Address fields and improves data accuracy by letting users select verified locations from Google Maps.

This update is ideal for registration forms, checkout flows, shipping forms, contact forms, or any workflow where accurate address collection matters.

Check Set address autocomplete for setup details.

Countdown field for time-limited forms

You can now add a Countdown field to your forms to set clear time limits and guide users to submit on time.

With Countdown, you can:

• Start timing when the form opens or set a shared fixed deadline
• Control how time is shown (Countdown, Clock, Reminder only, or Hidden)
• Send reminders before time runs out
• Customize the message shown when time is up

The Countdown field works across all form types and controls timing only — it does not collect user input.

This update is ideal for exams, time-limited surveys, applications with deadlines, or any workflow where timing matters. Check Set Countdown properties for more details.

Batch actions for submissions

You can now manage submissions faster with new batch actions.

Select multiple entries on the current page and:

• Delete them at once
• Download all PDFs in one click

This update removes the need to handle submissions one-by-one and streamlines workflows for high-volume form responses.

A small update, but a big time-saver — especially for teams processing daily submissions, feedback forms, or signature documents.

1,000+ Ready-to-Use Templates

The expanded PlatoForms Template Library now includes 1,000+ online form templates, covering everything from order forms and application forms to reservation forms, consent forms, HR documents, and seasonal templates.

A faster way to build — no setup, no blank canvas, just pick a template and start.

Let AI Build Your Form

Now you can start a form from an idea — not just from a file or template.

The new AI Form Generator takes a plain-text prompt like “employee onboarding form” or “customer feedback survey” and turns it into a complete web form.

AI analyzes your description and creates relevant fields, help text, and input types in a clean, editable layout.

You can review the form, make adjustments, and choose between Classic or Conversational layouts before publishing.

It’s a simple, fast way to start building forms — directly from your ideas.

Available for Web Form.

Web Form templates

Building Web Forms just got faster.

You can now start with a clean page or choose from a new template library made specifically for Web Form.

Browse ready-to-use templates like applications, checklists, and surveys, then customize them as needed.

Skip the blank page and publish your form in minutes.

Transfer form to another account

You can now transfer a form—and all its submissions—to another PlatoForms account using the Transfer option in the form settings menu.

Enter the recipient’s email, confirm the transfer, and the form will immediately appear in their dashboard.

Bonus: You can choose to Preserve Folder Structure. When enabled, the form will be placed inside a newly created folder with the same name in the recipient’s account.

This is perfect for handing off ownership, moving projects between teams, or transferring forms to client accounts.

Transfer forms to another account.

Conversational Form 💬 — One Question at a Time

Long forms can feel like a test. Conversational Form turns that into a chat.

Instead of facing a wall of fields, users answer one question at a time—step by step, like a friendly conversation.

And the best part? You don’t need to rebuild anything. In Preview & Design, just switch from Classic to Conversational. One click, no missing fields, no layout issues.

✨ Highlights

• Smooth flow: A guided, step-by-step experience that keeps users engaged.

• Flexible design: Choose themes (light/dark, progress bar, welcome page) or customize your own.

• Fully compatible: Works with Conditional Logic, Prefilled Fields, and Multi-language.

• Team-friendly: Save and share themes so forms across your organization stay consistent.

🌟 Why it matters: For surveys, onboarding, and applications, Conversational Form makes completing a form feel natural—something people actually finish.

⚡ Perfect for: Surveys, onboarding flows, application forms.

Note: Conversational Form is available for web-based forms. Forms that use a PDF as the background stay in Classic mode.

For details, see Switch to Conversational Form.

Enhanced Table field with column/row selection

Tables are now more interactive with new selection options:

• Column select: Let users select an entire column at once — ideal for category or feature selections.
• Row select: Users can pick whole rows with a single click for faster entry.
• Use both: Combine column and row selection for full flexibility.

Find these options in Table Settings → Detail Settings when editing any table field.

Works best with: Surveys, comparison charts, and forms with multiple choices.

Great for: Regional data, feature selection, availability grids, or any structured data collection.

Tip: You can make some columns selectable while keeping others normal for a smoother user experience.

Text spacing options for better PDF online form layouts

New text spacing modes help you create cleaner, more precise PDF online forms:

• Natural: Standard spacing (default)
• Distributed: Evenly spreads characters across available space—ideal for aligning with pre-drawn lines
• Custom Blocks: Places each character in its own block for maximum control

Find these options under PDF → Text Spacing when editing any text field.

Works best with: Monospaced fonts for consistent alignment across devices.

Perfect for: Government forms, contracts, or any layout that requires precise character positioning.

Note: Custom Blocks is available only when the field uses a specific format pattern, such as Date or Time.

New passcode options for stronger link protection

We’ve added more ways to secure your forms and shared links:

• Form access passcode: Require a passcode before respondents can open the form
• Save-for-Later URL passcode (NEW): Ask for a passcode when respondents return to a saved form
• Shared URL passcode (NEW): Protect shared links such as Edit Form, PDF download, and Attachments with a passcode.

All passcode options are available under Form Settings. Use them together for end-to-end protection—from accessing a form to viewing shared submissions.

Tip: Combine passcodes with shorter expiration times for added security.

For more details, visit our User Documentation or FAQ.

Forms auto-unpublish at submission limit

When a form reaches its submission limit (set under the General tab in Form Settings), it now:

• Automatically unpublishes and moves to Draft

• Redirects users to your custom link (if set)

• Or shows a clean message:

  “Maximum submissions received. This form is closed.”

No more manual checks or late updates — your form closes itself right on time.

Time zone setting for submission date/time

You can now choose how submission date and time are displayed in your form settings.

Go to Form Settings > General and select:

Convert Submission Date/Time To

• Submitter’s Time Zone
• Form Creator’s Time Zone
• Custom Time Zone

Example: If someone in Shanghai submits your form at April 29, 1:00 AM:

• Submitter’s Time Zone → April 29, 1:00 AM (Shanghai)
• Form Creator’s Time Zone (e.g., New York) → April 28, 1:00 PM (New York)

You can also apply a custom time zone if needed.

🔸 Already-submitted PDFs will not change.
🔸 Submitter time zone uses their browser setting and updates automatically if they travel.

For more details, see Manage form settings - Convert Submission Date/Time To or watch our video tutorial.

AI Recognition for PDF Forms

AI can now scan your uploaded PDF and detect fields automatically — reducing setup time and minimizing manual work.

Supported types: PDF Fillable Forms, Web PDF Forms

How it works

After you upload a PDF, you’ll see the AI-Powered form recognition bar in the builder. Click Start Now to run AI detection.

If you don’t see the bar, the same option is available in the ••• menu.

Before AI

• Only pre-defined PDF fields were detected
• Labels sometimes mismatched
• Multiple-choice options weren’t grouped
• Headers and help text were ignored

With AI

• Detects most fields automatically (some tweaks may still be needed)
• Smarter label matching
• Correct grouping for checkboxes and choice fields
• Recognizes headers and help text
• Better field type detection — less manual editing

Best for

• Small to medium PDFs for quick setup
• Not recommended for large PDFs (10+ pages / hundreds of fields), since AI recognition frequency is moderated

Your edits stay safe

• If AI changes something unexpectedly, you can roll back with History
• Restoring previous versions is always available

For more details, see
Auto-detect fields with AI.

Reminder: keep your forms on track with timely alerts

We’ve added a new reminder feature for Invitations, Notifications, and Workflows.

📧 Invitation reminder - sends friendly nudge emails to remind recipients to fill out the form.

• The countdown starts when the invitation is sent. For example, if set for 1 day, the invitee receives a reminder email 24 hours later if the form isn’t completed.
• If the form is completed before the reminder time, the reminder is automatically canceled.

📩 Notification reminder - keeps you and your team in the loop by sending reminder emails about submissions.

• Sends notification to you when a user submits their form.（To stop reminders, you must delete the submission and notification setting.)

🖋️ Workflow reminder - sends reminder emails to ensure each step in the workflow is completed on time.

• Reminders are triggered based on the timing set for each workflow step. For example, if reminder 1 is set for 1 day and reminder 2 for 3 days, the user will receive a reminder 1 day after the first step and another 3 days after the second step if those steps aren’t completed on time.
• If the next step is finished before the reminder time, the reminder will not be sent.

Up to 3 reminder emails can be configured. These reminders help keep the form-filling process smooth and efficient for everyone involved.

Streamlining signature certificate setup in Workflow

Now every step of the Workflow now includes the option to create a signature certificate. Here’s how to set it up:

• For the first step:

  • To set up the signature certificate, you must click the Invitation button located at the top right of the workflow.
  • Enable Signature certificate option so it will be linked to the email settings to ensure proper identification via email.

• For the subsequent steps:

  • Set up the signature certificate by going to the specific step’s Settings button and switching on Create signature Certificate.
  • These steps rely on the workflow’s internal signature process rather than email linkage.

The “Create Signature Certificate” option is off by default for all steps. To turn it on for specific steps, you need to activate this option manually for each one.

You can now set up and manage signature certificates in your Workflow! For more details, check our user guide.

Exit form without saving data

You can now allow users to exit forms safely without saving any entered information - thanks to our new Exit Form feature!

One cool way to use it is for age verification forms. Let’s say someone enters an age below the requirement. With Exit Form, you can politely redirect them instead of letting them proceed.

Exit Form really shines when combined with things like confirmation messages or redirects. That extra flexibility gives you more control over the entire user’s form experience.

By using Exit Form, you’ll improve data security, boost conversions, and create smoother user journeys. Pretty neat, right?

So go ahead and give this new functionality a try! For more details, refer to this blog.

Conditional confirmation messages and redirect links

Now, you can customize your form’s confirmation messages and redirect links based on what people fill in! Whether it’s for their major, the job they’re applying for, or any other details, you can tweak it to fit perfectly.

Setting it up is easy! Just head to the Submit Confirmation tab in your Form Settings. From there, customize messages and links for each situation. Don’t forget to save!

New API to update dropdown options easily

Updating those dropdown menus just got a whole lot easier! You can now ditch the manual option entry and uploading CSVs (though those methods are still available if you’re into that).

Just connect directly to your data sources through our slick new API - Update Dropdown List Options. One quick call and your dropdowns are automatically refreshed with all the latest options. Update a single field or every dropdown on your form - the choice is yours.

It’s the seamless way to make sure your users always have the freshest picks at their fingertips. No more stale, outdated dropdowns here! Just set it and forget it for dropdowns that never go stale.

Expanded Dropdown Capabilities

We’ve got an awesome upgrade for you - our Dropdown fields just got a lot more powerful. Here’s the scoop: you can now upload a CSV file with up to 5MB of data to populate your cascading dropdown options. That’s a huge jump from the old 100KB limit.

That means you can:

• Upload CSV files with 10,000 to 20,000 dropdown items
• Streamline setup of complex dropdown options
• Save time and reduce errors when populating dropdown options

How to use the improved Dropdown:

• Go to the field properties.
