How to Enable Save and Continue Submissions

Save and Continue Submissions lets respondents pause filling out a form and continue later without losing their progress. This feature is especially useful for long surveys, multi-step applications, or forms that require detailed input. Respondents can also use a unique link to allow multiple users to fill out the form one after another in real time.


Steps to Enable Save and Continue


Step 1: Open Your Form

Log in to your Formester account and open the form you want to edit.


Step 2: Click the Gear Icon

In the top right corner of the builder, click the Gear Icon next to the Publish button.


Step 3: Go to Save and Continue

From the settings menu, select Save and Continue.


Step 4: Toggle Save and Resume

Find the option Save and Resume and toggle it on. This will allow respondents to pause and continue their submission later.


Step 5: Publish and Share

Click Publish to save the changes and share the form link with your respondents.


How Save and Continue Works

  • Resume in Real Time: Respondents can save their progress and continue filling out the form later without losing data.


  • Unique Link for Multiple Users: You can generate a special link that allows multiple users to save and continue their submissions one after another. This is ideal for group applications, event registrations, or collaborative data entry.


Why Use Save and Continue?

  • Improves Completion Rates: Respondents can complete long forms at their own pace, reducing drop-offs.
  • Supports Detailed Forms: Perfect for applications, surveys, or assessments that require thoughtful responses.
  • Real-Time Progress Saving: Respondents don’t have to worry about losing information due to browser closure or interruptions.
  • Team-Friendly Submission: Multiple users can work sequentially on a single form using the unique link feature.


Pro Tip

Combine Save and Continue with Partial Submissions to capture every piece of data, even if respondents don’t finish the form immediately. This ensures you never lose important responses.
