Edit after submit
Let respondents change their answers after they submit, for example to fix a typo or update their details.
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.
- 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.
