Sometimes, you need a bit of time between making a change on a form and publishing that change. Draft Mode separates your work-in-progress from your live form.

When Draft Mode is turned on, any edits you make are safely stored as an unpublished draft behind the scenes. This ensures your form users will continue to view and submit data to the last published version of your form. When the changes are pushed to the live version, your form updates in real time, meaning every change you make is instantly published and visible to anyone accessing your form.

With Draft Mode, you can:

Edit behind the scenes: Build and review changes without altering the live form or interrupting the flow of real submissions.

Preview before publishing: Compare your draft directly with the current live version to ensure your edits look exactly how you want before going live.

Track and restore from revision history: See a detailed list of what has been changed—including added or removed fields—and easily restore a previously published version of your form if you ever need to revert an update.

Enforcing Draft Mode

To maintain control and avoid accidental changes, administrators have the ability to mandate the use of Draft Mode across their organization or team.

If you notice that the Draft Mode toggle in your Form Settings is greyed out or non-interactive, it means Draft Mode has been enforced by an admin. In this state:

• The toggle is permanently locked in the ON position.
• Users cannot turn off Draft Mode.

This means every change in the form will require a manual push to the live version of the form.

Draft Mode provides complete control over your form-building process, ensuring you don’t accidentally overwrite your live form and that every update is deliberate before it reaches your users going live.
