Let respondents save their answers and finish later
You can let respondents close a long form and return to their answers in the same browser on the same device.
Let respondents return to their answers
- Open your form's Settings tab and go to Behavior.
- Check Save answers for later. It's on by default for all plans.
- If you change the setting, click Save Changes.
Makeform saves answers in the respondent's browser whenever they change an answer.
Respondents don't need a save button, and they won't see a "progress saved" message.
When respondents reopen your form in the same browser and on the same device, Makeform fills in their saved answers.
They'll start at the beginning and click through pages that are already filled in.
The saved copy expires 30 days after it was first created. Later changes don't restart that period.
Respondents can't use this feature to continue in another browser or on another device, or after clearing browser data.
It also doesn't give them a save link or send them an email.
You won't see these saved answers unless the respondent submits the form.
See unfinished responses
Save answers for later and Partial submissions do different things. The first lets respondents return to answers saved in their browser.
Partial submissions sends unfinished answers to Makeform so you can see them.
Partial submissions is available on Pro and Business plans, and it's off by default.
If you want to collect unfinished responses, turn it on in your form's Settings.
It won't restore answers for respondents; Save answers for later does that.
