Note

If a form already contains a hidden widget, it remains fully functional. Users can still edit its settings or continue using it as is. However, hidden widgets cannot be duplicated or added to any forms. Once a hidden widget is deleted from a form, it cannot be recovered from the builder's panel.

Enabling or Disabling Individual Widgets

If you want to allow the Widget tab but restrict specific tools, you can hide individual widgets to maintain security or design standards.

  1. In the Admin Console, click on Assets on the left-hand side of the page.
  2. Then, select Forms from the list of assets.
