Forms: entries, resume & edit links

Triage submissions on the entries Kanban board, set the thank-you page or redirect, and let respondents come back to a draft or edit what they already submitted.

What happens after someone submits: how you triage the responses that come in, what a respondent sees once they've sent theirs, and the two different kinds of link that let them come back to it.

#Thank you page & redirection

Thank You Page & Redirection on the icon rail sets what happens right after a successful submit — a message shown in place of the form, or a redirect to a URL of your own.

With neither set, respondents see a plain default: "Thanks — that reached us." Neither field supports the {{Field Label}} placeholders the notification emails do — both are shown exactly as written.

#Reading your entries

Submissions for a form live on its Entries page. Alongside the table view, a Kanban board gives you two columns — Unread and Read — and dragging a card between them marks it accordingly. It is a triage board for working through what has come in, not a configurable pipeline: the two columns are fixed, and moving a card only flips that one flag — nothing else in the product reacts to it.

A respondent partway through a long form can ask to finish later. With collect partial responses turned on for the form, a "save and finish later" option emails them a link back to exactly where they stopped. This has to be requested — nothing is sent unless they ask for it — and the link expires with the draft itself, so it never outlives the response it points at.

Allow edit, a separate setting from partial responses, covers a submission that has already gone through. Turn it on and every confirmation email sent to a respondent carries an edit link automatically — there is nothing extra for them to request. Opening it lets them change their answers within a set window before the link stops working.

Editing replaces the same submission rather than creating a second one, and the confirmation shown afterward says so plainly — "Your changes are saved" in place of the usual thank-you screen, with no button offered to submit again.

#Resume link vs. edit link

  • A resume link picks up an unfinished draft — it exists because a respondent asked for it partway through, and it goes nowhere once the response is actually submitted.
  • An edit link changes a submission that is already complete — it is sent automatically, without being asked for, and only works while editing is turned on for the form.

Each is scoped to the one submission or draft it was minted for, and neither can be repurposed as the other.
