# Edit after submit

Let respondents return and update their answers after submitting. Turn it on in Settings, pick how many edits to allow, and check which forms cannot offer it.

## Turn it on

Open **Settings**, the **Submissions** tab, and turn on **Let people change their answers**. Next to the switch, pick **Maximum edits**: 1, 2, or 3. With the setting off, a submitted answer is final.

## How it works

After submitting, respondents see **Edit your response** on the thank-you page. It opens the form with their answers, and submitting again updates the same submission. The button works only in the browser they submitted from.

## When people cannot edit

- A completed request is final. Send a new request for a correction.

- A form with a Payment, Signature, or Schedule appointment question allows no edits, and publishing turns the setting off.

- A verified email answer (Business) cannot be changed. See [Respondent email verification](https://formstep.io/docs/building-forms/email-verification/).

- A form that goes to a web page after submit shows no edit button.

If you change the form, a returning respondent sees the latest version. Answers to questions that still exist are kept.
