Publish a form and manage revisions

Publish drafts, preview older versions and start a new draft safely.

For administratorsPortal3 min read

Forms are versioned. You edit a draft, and people only see your changes after you publish. This means you can improve a form while people are still using the current version.

Publish a draft

1. Open Revisions Go to the form's Revisions tab.
2. Preview Select Preview revision to check the draft.
3. Publish Select Publish revision. It becomes the live version straight away.

Change a published form

1. Start a new draft On the Revisions tab, select Start new draft from revision on the version you want to build from.
2. Edit Select Edit in build tab and make your changes.
3. Publish again Publish the new revision when it's ready.

Note

Existing assignments pick up the newly published version. Submissions that were already made keep the answers people gave.

Tip

Make small, frequent revisions rather than one big change. Mention what changed in the form description so people who use it every day aren't caught off guard.

You can delete a draft revision you no longer need with Delete revision.
