Discard & Start Over/Continue with Draft

Our team needs to be able to save multiple drafts of the same form using the mobile app. How can we do that? Right now we keep getting prompted with "Discard & Start Over/Continue with Draft" and it overwrites the previous saved forms.

Hi Jasmine,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. The Save and Continue Later feature is used to update any existing data used when filling out a form, and may need to be continued on a later date, to avoid starting over. Unfortunately, this feature is account-based, and can only have one saved draft per account. That means, it is not possible to have multiple saved copies of the same form, using the same account to fill it out. Whenever the saved draft needs to be updated over time, it will just override the existing data entered to it, and can't be bypassed by saving it multiple times, with different data entries.

If a form user needs to update their entries for a submission, a workaround you can use is to add the Edit Link option in the form's Autoresponder Email. That way, they can update their submissions whenever needed, instead of initially saving the form as a draft, to be completed later. Let me show you how:

1. In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar on top of the page, click on Settings.

2. In the menu on the left, go to Emails.

3. Hover your mouse over the Autoresponder Email, and then click on the Pencil icon on the right.

4. In the Email Content section, click on Form Fields in the blue formatting toolbar.

5. Select Edit Link from the options, and then click on Save once done.
