    Hi Avi,

    If you have embedded the form using our default embed method (javascript), then there's no need to re-embed the code. Your form will be automatically updated to the page right after you save it from the form builder.

    You need to re-embed the code into your website in the following cases:

    1. You need to re-embed the form code if you are using the source codes.

    2. You need to re-embed the form code when using the iFrame method BUT only if you have added a field to your form. Because the height in the iFrame codes is fixed. If you add a field, the form height changes.

    If you have any questions or concerns further, please let us know.

    Hi Avi,

    If you are embedding your form to wordpress website using embed short code method, no need to put new embed code again. Your form will be automatically updated to the website right after you save it.
