The Continue Forms Later, also known as Autofill or Save and Continue, lets your users save their progress in the form and come back to it later to complete their submission. It’s similar to Classic Forms, which requires users to click the Save button to get a unique Session URL for their progress.
To enable Continue Forms Later in Card Forms…
- Go to the Settings tab.
- Click the Show More Options button.

- Scroll down to the Continue Forms Later section.

With Card Forms, you can choose from the following options:
- Enable when form has 10+ questions
- Enabled
- Disabled
Note the following aspects when using the Continue Forms Later feature:
- If you choose Enable when form has 10+ questions, the Save button is unavailable if your form has less than 10 questions.
- This feature doesn’t work on forms with less than 4 fields.
- The Save button will only show up once the user fills out the first field on your form.

How Does This Work?
For Logged In Users
For users who are logged in to their Jotform account, clicking the Save button will automatically send the session link to their registered email address. A confirmation message will also appear where the users can choose to Resend the email or Get a Shareable Link.

For Guest Users
For users who do not have a Jotform account, clicking the Save button will prompt them to create an account or log in to Jotform for existing users. If they don’t wish to create an account or log in, users can click the Skip Create an Account link to get the session URL.

Clicking the “skip” link will display the following window:

The email address will automatically be fetched from the Email element of the form, provided the user has filled that with their email address. Otherwise, the form filler will have to provide their email address.
The users will receive the Continue Forms Later email as shown below:

The "come back later" email used to be sent directly to the email field already indicated in the form. This new process is much more complicated to have to explain to people who don't want to/have time to create a new account. It would be great to have the option to go back to the old way, at least for paid accounts.
This is not as well-written as most of your articles.
Even the first sentence is not grammatically correct:
Letting respondents save the progress of their form to continue later required to set up two forms using Page Break elements.
