    Hi there

    I have used the 'jump to page' in the edit link for users to complete their section of a form.  Trouble is, other pages contain confidential information and the URL in the address bar clearly states 'JumpToPage=3'.  If they click on this URL and change the page number, they can access pages i don't want them to.  Is there a way of protecting this URL so the user cannot change it and not access other pages of the form?

    Thanks,

    Yes it is possible and here are the steps you need to follow:

    #1. Add "Get Form Page URL" widget in form.

    #2. Add a condition in form to check if the get form page URL contains "edit", please hide the desired fields or page in form. 

    This will ensure that if the submission is edited, users will not see the other fields of form. 

    Hope this helps.
