Create your own version of a shared form

    Hello!

    Is there a way for me to make a copy of a shared form and have it be my own form? I created several forms in one account, but I need them to be owned by another account, so sharing them doesn't fulfill my need. 

    Thanks!

    Hi Becky,

    Grab the URL of the form and clone it to the other account. Here's our guide for cloning a form:

    Hello! 

    I've tried doing that, but I get the following error with every form I try to create. There is for sure a form on that page.

    To clone the form, you need the URL of the form itself.  Unfortunately, the URL of a page the form is embedded to will not work.  The form embedded to the page in your screenshot is:

    http://www.jotform.us/form/52106012902136

    You can clone it via that URL.

    To find the URL of any of your forms, while editing them, click on the "Embed Form" tab:

    Under the "Your form is here!" heading will be the URL of your form.  You can clone it to other accounts from that URL.
