How to Identify Which Version of Your Form is Live

December 5, 2025

When working on your form, it’s important to know if you’re viewing the Live or the Draft version. The Live version is visible to form fillers, while the Draft typically contains edits that haven’t been published yet. Let’s walk through a few ways you can check the status of your form and confirm which version is Live.

1. Check the Sync Status Indicator

At the top of the Form Builder, under the Form’s Title, you’ll see your form’s sync status.

  • If the form is synced, you’ll see the time the form was last edited in green. This means your draft and live versions match.

  • View Changes: Select this to open the Revision History.
  • Sync: Select this to publish your draft.

2. Check the Revision History

You can also check the Revision History to see what version is live and which is the Draft version.

To access it manually, click on the clock icon at the top of the Form Builder.

  • You can compare revisions, see draft versions, and choose whether to sync them.

In this view, you’ll be able to see the Live Version and confirm which version form fillers area viewing. Additionally, you can compare it with previous versions and the current Draft. 

3. Check the Publish Menu

You can also see your form’s status in the Publish tab of the Form Builder. To open this, click on Publish in the orange banner at the top of the page.
