    Hi team,
    Hope you are doing well!
    Would you mind guiding me how to share a partial filled form to someone, please?

    I checked and it required to have an account or it returned to that person that they do not have access to the file.

    Thanks and looking forward to hear from you!

    Hi NguyenCeline, 

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. If you want to send a partially filled form to someone, you can use Jotform's prefill feature. It is really easy to use, let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Publish.
    2. Now, click on Prefill in the menu on the left side of the page, and then select Manual Prefill.
    3. Click on Add a New Prefill and fill up the fields you want to be prefilled.
    4. Then, click on the Create button in the right corner of the page.

    That's it. Now, a prefill link's been created, and you can share that with people. When they open the link, the matched fields will be filled automatically. Check out the screencast below to see how it works:

    1. In the Form Prefill settings, click on Can Edit next to the prefill link.
    2. In the dropdown menu that opens, select Read only, and that's it.

    Hi Ibrar,

    The prefill form did not work for my form as attached.
    Would you mind providing the alternative solution? Thanks

    Hi Celine,

    Currently, Multiple Selection widget isn't supported in Jotform Prefill yet. To allow a user to access the draft link, you must initially fill out the form while you're logged out to your Jotform account. You can fill out the form on an incognito window, for example. Once you click on the Save button, you'll need to skip in creating Jotform account, then copy the link or send it to an email address. Take a look at the screencast below:

    Once you shared the draft link, they can access i without any issues.

    Reach out again if there’s anything else we can help you with.
