Feature Request: Separate button for saving changes to live form

    Hello,

    I'm wondering if it would be possible to make a button for publishing changes to a live form which would be separate from the current Save/Autosave button.

    Actually I'm not a fan of the autosave feature at all, but I'm sure a lot of people find it useful. I've had issues with it more than once because I can't make all changes within the few seconds/minutes until next autosave and auto-publish happens.

    Disabling the form while making changes is also not an option because most people will not "try again later".

    My latest problem was that I added a widget to the form for testing, and after realizing it doesn't work, I just closed the form. At that particular moment, I forgot that even though I didn't click a "Save" or "Publish" button, my changes were already live. For about 7 hours until I was contacted by users, users were unable to submit the form which caused quite a lot of frustration for them.

    So would it be possible to:

    (1) change the functionality of the autosave button so that it only autosaves a draft, and then have a separate button for applying the changes on the live form when I'm done?

    (2) or, could I have the option to temporarily disable the autosave feature?

    Cheers,
    Ines

    Wow - I'm sorry for not noticing it. After a few months of working with JotForm, I've never thought or right-clicking the form.

     

    Thank you so much!

    Cheers,
