With the "Submit as Draft" feature enabled, form respondents have the flexibility to save their progress without completing the submission. Here's how it works:

Saving a Draft​

  • Fill Out the Form: Respondents can begin filling out the form as usual, entering information into the fields provided.

  • Save as Draft: If a respondent needs to pause or postpone completion, they can click the "Draft" button. This action saves their current progress without submitting the form.

  • Access Draft Link: Upon clicking "Draft," a unique link is generated. This link allows the respondent to return to the form, with all previously entered information intact, ready for editing or completion.
