    I just deleted some questions from a form and now I cannot find responses to these questions that were previously submitted. Is there a way to recover the responses to these questions? Thank you!

    Hi pasleadorg,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Please note that when you delete a form field in the Builder, it will also delete the submission data associated with that field. I would suggest that you use our Revision History feature to revert your form to an earlier revision. This will restore the deleted field as well as the submission data. Here's how to do it:

    1. In the Form Builder, select the save status text at the top just below the form name to open Revision History.How do I recover responses to individual questions that have been deleted from a form? Image 1 Screenshot 40
    2. In the Revision History pane on the right, choose a revision to review.How do I recover responses to individual questions that have been deleted from a form? Image 2 Screenshot 51
    3. Click on the revision’s Revert button to restore it.
