This is helpful because:
- The submitter can close the form and open it again later to finish.
- If someone accidentally closes a tab they won’t loose any info.
To activate this for your forms:
- When editing a form, go to Configure → Form Behaviour
- Toggle on “Automatic save and resume later”.
Gotchas
- The answers are saved locally, so the user must return to the form from the same device and browser (excluding incognito/private windows).
- This does not mean that you will automatically have partially complete data from your customers/users - their computer will remember the data locally, but you won’t receive the data until they hit the submit button unless your plan comes with Partial Submissions.
- Once submitted, they can’t return and edit their form data by completing the form again.
