    Dear Team, 

    I am really impressed by the features of jotform, but before I proceed on upgrading my account. I have few questions.

    I am running a reading campaigns where the participants have to read two books and answer questions based on that book. At the moment, the participant has to buy the questions sheet (hard copy) and submit it hard copy as well. We have few challenges if we move online and i hope jotform is the right place to solve our issues:

    - Can the participant save the answers and come back?

    - Are there features where we can show the right answers after the deadline? so that the participants would know their scores? 

    - Is there a feature where I can know the the scores automatically (like the LMS)?

    - We aim to save the participants' data, so would they be able to log on by using jotform we have to think of an integration between the two features (1. log in 2. answering the questions)

    -  Since the payment integration is very complex in my country, this is why we are thinking of giving each participant a code when they purchase the code / paper. They would need to put the verification code and then answer the questions (to make sure that they have purchased). Is there an integration like this? Can you think of a solution? 

    Last year we have used a Learning Management System (LMS) and I did not like it a lot. I  think joform is simpler and suffice the purpose.

    - Can the participant save the answers and come back?

    It is possible to save the form data by enabling the Auto-fill option in the form settings. Please note that the feature allows saving the form filled information in the browser storage. So, the data can be accessed only when the form is opened on the same computer and same browser. Also, if the browser storage/cache is cleared, the form data will be lost.

    If you want to have the form data to be displayed on any PC/browser, you may consider using session parameter method. However, it is required to be a multi-page form. Please check the following guide that can help you with this.
