    I have updated one of our forms, and I see we didn't have to change our link, however, I want to update all the forms I have to be the same, but they all have individual links for different people, how can I clone my updated form but not have it update the individual links that have already been created? Does that make sense?

    "....however, I want to update all the forms I have to be the same.."

    I'm not sure I get this. Each form must has its unique ID or custom link. Updating a form doesn't change its link at all.

    Cloned version have their own unique ID or custom link, being different from the original.

    Ok, I guess what I'm trying to say is, I created 20 or so identical forms but they each belong to a user who sends them to clients to complete. I discovered a spelling mistake on my original and updated it, and yes the link does not change. However, I could go and edit each of those 20 forms, but was wondering if there is a mass way of doing this?

    "but was wondering if there is a mass way of doing this?"

    I understand now. I'm afraid that there's yet to be such a feature that automatically applies changes to multiple forms at once.

    The only way is to clone the form again X times using this guide, then re-distribute the links.

    Your understanding is most appreciated.
