    Users submit information to join a website and would like to be able to update this information if it changes the next day, week, month.

    Is there a smart way to enable users to update only some of the information previously submitted in a form?

    The best way to do this would be to include an edit submission link in the email autoresponder for your form.  Here is more information on how to do so:

    This will allow users to return to their specific submission at any time to update their data.  Submitting the updated data will overwrite the previous data.
