Building and publishing a form

Create and organise

Create a new form and start adding fields. You can duplicate an existing form to reuse its setup, and organise forms into nested folders to keep things tidy as you grow.

The search box above the list finds forms and folders by name anywhere in the workspace, not just in the folder you happen to have open, so you can jump straight to something filed away without clicking through the tree. Searching also matches a form's description.

Drafts and publishing

A form has a working draft and a published version. You edit the draft freely; visitors only ever see the published version. This means your changes are never live until you choose to publish them.

1. 1

   Edit your draft

   Add and configure fields, layout and settings.

2. 2

   Preview

   Open a preview to see exactly what respondents will get.

3. 3

   Publish

   Publish to make your changes live at the public address.

TinyForms shows when your draft has unpublished changes compared to the live version, and you can discard draft changes to return to what is published. A preflight check runs before publishing to catch problems early.

Import and export

You can export a form to a .tinyforms file and import it back later or into another workspace. This is handy for reusing a setup or moving a form between accounts.
