Save & Resume allows form users to save their progress and finish an incomplete entry at a later date. When enabled, a user will be provided a link to their in-progress entry upon saving their form. They can return to this link as many times as needed to complete their entry within your chosen timeframe (or until the entry status is no longer Incomplete).

Upon saving, form users can copy the link directly or email it to themselves. Once a user saves their form for the first time, you can review the entry audit log to see when it was saved, along with all subsequent saves at least one hour apart.

Enabling Save & Resume

To enable Save & Resume:

1. Open the Workflow menu at the top of your form’s Build page.
2. Toggle Save & Resume to On. Once toggled, a Save button will be added to the bottom of your form.
3. Choose between two expiration options:
   • The Save & Resume link should Never expire (until the entry status is no longer Incomplete).
   • The Save & Resume link should expire After a select amount of days (up to 28 days from the initial save time) or until the entry status is no longer Incomplete.
4. Customize the Not Available Message that displays when the Save & Resume link is no longer valid. Use the formatting toolbar to insert hyperlinks/images and change the formatting of selected text. Please note that values from protected fields cannot be inserted into the Not Available Message.
5. Check the box next to Send resume links to embedded forms if you have an embedded form and want to redirect people to your website.

Saving multi-page forms

When you enable Save & Resume on forms with multiple pages, the form user’s progress is automatically saved as they navigate from page to page.
