V3: Publish a Form

Publishing a Form makes it available to use. When the Form is ready to go live, select it in the Forms list and click Publish. You can also publish a From from Step 3 of the Form Designer.


Fix Form Warnings

If there are any issues that need to be fixed in a Form before publishing, you can see the Warnings list screen by going to the third step of the Form Designer or by clicking the Publish button from the Forms list.

“Must Fix” warnings indicate a problem that prevents the Form from publishing:

“Suggested” warnings let you know of potential problems, but you can still publish the Form without fixing them.

Click each blue “Fix Issue” link to go to the page with the problem. The issue will be highlighted in red.

 


Unpublish a Form

If you need to make a change to the Form, you need to first unpublish it. You can unpublish a Form at any time.  When you unpublish a Form, the system will save all past Form responses but users are no longer able to access the Form until it’s published again.

 


Where Will Your Form Live?

After you click Publish for a Form, you can specify where the Form will live under Form Options:

  • Place it on a social media website or other location of your choice.

Embedded Form

With this publishing option, the Form lives directly on your website.

  • We’ll give you the iFrame code with all the Form’s information for you to embed on your website.
  • Any updates you make to the form in SA will automatically update your website.
  • Click Copy to copy the Form code to your clipboard.

Source Code

This option is for advanced users and provides the complete source code of the Form.

  • Click the link below to email all three options to your webmaster.
  • If you later change the form and republish it, you'll need to copy and paste the source code again.
