    Hello,


    I'm looking to present most of the filled in answers on a form to the respondent prior to submission.


    What would be the most efficient way to do this?


    Is there a way to do so without recreating each individual field, but also without scrolling back through the entire form?


    I would also like it to be as compact as possible, instead of one really long page. Any way to use more space horizontally or to utilize more compact boxes would be best.

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks for reaching out to us for help. The easiest way to let respondents see most of their filled-in answers before submitting is to use Jotform’s Review Before Submission feature. How you use it can vary a bit depending on the form layout you have.

    Here's how to do it when using a Card Form:

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

    2. Click on Show More Options, then scroll down to Review Before Submission setting and choose Yes from the dropdown options.

    1. In Form Builder, click on Add Element menu in the left side of the page.

    2. Under the Widgets tab, look for and click on Review Before Submit widget to add it to your form.
