Publish and share a form
Publishing makes a form available through its public link. Treat the first publish as a short release checklist rather than a single button press.
Publish checklist
Section titled “Publish checklist”Before publishing:
- confirm the title and description are user-facing
- preview the form at mobile and desktop widths
- submit a test response
- confirm the response appears in the app
- confirm notification routing is correct for the team
Share the public link
Section titled “Share the public link”After publishing, copy the public form link and place it where users already expect to find the workflow. Common places include a website CTA, a support article, a job post, an onboarding email, or an internal request page.
Use one canonical link per workflow. If a form replaces an older process, update old pages and messages so users do not split responses across multiple channels.
Change a live form carefully
Section titled “Change a live form carefully”Small copy edits are usually safe. Structural changes need more care because they can affect how new submissions compare with older ones.
Before changing a live form:
- check whether existing responses depend on the current fields
- avoid renaming fields in ways that make exports unclear
- add new optional fields before making them required
- test the public form again after publishing the change
When the workflow changes significantly, create a new form version instead of turning the old form into a different process.
