    Are the candidates completing the form able to save it half way through and return to it later?

    Yes it is possible to achieve your requirement to allow user to save the form and continue it at a later date. Here are the options available:

    #1. Auto Fill: You may like to take a look at our "Auto Fill" setting which will save the user's input data every few seconds in browser's cookie. Please be noted that if the user access the form again from other browser, other system or clear the browser cache, the saved data will not be accessible. The following guide should help you:  http://www.jotform.com/help/227-How-to-Enable-Auto-Fill-Feature-Save-Form-Entries-to-Continue-Later 

    #2. Session: This feature will save the input data in session and actually stored in our server. This feature requires two forms and the main form should have the "Page Break" field. The data is saved in session only on the click of the next button. The following guide should help you:  http://www.jotform.com/features/save-and-continue/ 

    #3. Save and continue in Cards form layout: You may like to take a look at the following guide which should help you: https://www.jotform.com/help/495-Setting-up-the-Continue-Forms-Later-Feature-in-Card-Forms 

    Hope this helps.
