    Autosave | Forms Help

    All changes in the form builder save automatically. There is no manual save button; every edit is persisted within moments of your last change.

    What triggers a save

    Any change to the following is auto-saved:

    • Field list, ordering, and configuration (labels, help text, required state, hidden defaults)
    • Related object sections
    • Form title and description
    • Submit button text and success message
    • Redirect URL
    • Theme, branding, and custom CSS
    • Hide-title toggle

    Status indicator

    A small indicator appears in the top-right corner of the builder header:

    • Saving… (with spinner): a save is in progress
    • Saved (green check): the last save completed successfully
    • Save failed (red alert): the network request failed. Make another edit to retry automatically

    Form URL slug

    The form URL slug has its own save behavior. As you type, a live availability check runs to make sure no other form in your workspace already uses that slug. If there's a conflict, the slug is not saved and an inline error appears.

    Draft vs. published

    Autosave writes to the draft state of your form. Changes do not appear to respondents until you click Publish.

    If the form has a published version and you've made unpublished changes since, a Discard changes button appears to revert to the last published snapshot.

    Efficiency

    The builder compares each change to the last saved state before sending a network request. If nothing actually changed (e.g. you typed and deleted the same character), no request is sent. This keeps network usage minimal.
