- Open Form Builder from the left sidebar and click New Form. A new draft called Untitled Form opens in the builder.
- Type a name in Form title. Add a short Description shown to visitors if you like.
- In the panel on the right, click a field type under Add a field to add it to the bottom of your form. Use Add a block for headings, text, images and book details, and Add a section for ready-made groups of fields.
- Edit each field where it sits: type the question, a placeholder, the choices (one per line), and tick Required if it must be answered.
- To reorder, drag a block by its grip handle, or use the up and down arrows on the right of the block. The trash icon removes it.
- Under Form Settings, add your logo, pick a style, write a Thank-you message, and choose where responses go under Send responses to.
- Click Preview to see the form the way visitors will.
- Click Save Form.
- Click Publish at the top of the page. The form is now live, and Copy link appears so you can share it.
The first time you save or publish a form that doesn't send responses anywhere, you'll be asked Add responses to a tracker? Choose ARC Tracker or Beta Readers to map the fields, or No. Just log submissions. Either way, every response is saved on the form's Submissions tab, and you can change this later under Send responses to.
Good to know
- Publish makes your last saved version live. Once a form is published, the save button reads Save Changes, and visitors only see your edits after you click it.
- Your edits are kept when you switch between the Builder and Submissions tabs, but click save before you leave the page.
- Visitors don't need an account to fill in your form.
- Click Unpublish to take the form offline. Visitors then see This form isn't available. Responses you've already collected stay on the Submissions tab.
- On the Form Builder list, each form shows Draft or Published, with icons to edit, publish or unpublish, duplicate, copy the link and delete it. Duplicate makes an unpublished copy with (Copy) added to the name. After deleting a form you can click Undo in the message that appears to bring it back.
