    Can the form be "locked down" so it can't be edited once it has completed the sign off process?

    Hi Kevin,

    Thanks for your patience, we appreciate it. The URL for editing a submission is typically only provided in the email sent upon submitting the form. The customer would not automatically receive an edit link in the Autoresponder email. Let me show you how to set that up:

    1. In Form Builder, click on Settings and Emails.

    2. Click on the Pen icon over the Orange Notification Email.How to disable editing the form after submission? Image 2 Screenshot 51
    3. Now In the Email Content box, scroll down to the bottom to see the option to edit the submission. It can sometimes appear as {edit_link} as well.

    4. If you don't want the submitter to edit the submission, you may delete this and click on the Save button.

    Give it a try and let us know if you need any help.
