Edit Submission issues

    I have an Approval Workflow. The first approver gets the email that a form has been submitted. But when she clicks on Edit Submission it say she needs permission to edit the submission. How do I give her that permission?

    I checked under form settings and there isn't anything that says Allow Edit Submissions.


    I have one more question.

    This form is an approval workflow. But I noticed that when I am sending tests, I am not receiving the Notification email called Submitter's Final Approval. The condition works sometimes but not all the time. Do you know why this is happening?

    Hi there!

    Thank you for sharing the form link.

    It looks like the permission to edit submission is not enabled.

    Follow the steps to allow it:

    Step 1: Go to Publish > Quick Share > Settings

    I checked Submit and Edit Later and it still doesn't let jrobinson@qdihvac.com edit the form when she receives the notification email TI ORIGINAL SUBMISSION. Thanks
