Quick Answer
How do I edit my Formesign form?
Open the form's EDIT tab. Click any question to change it, and use the toolbar on the right to add fields, titles, images, videos, and sections. The ring beside the form's name opens a Form setup checklist covering signatures, respondent fields, emails, Google Drive, and scheduling.
The EDIT tab is where your form takes shape. Changes save as you go.
Add and change questions
Click a question to edit it in place: its title, its answer type, and whether it's required. The gear on a question opens more settings, including its description, and Mark this as Protected Health Information.
The toolbar on the right adds things after the selected question:
| Button | Adds |
|---|---|
| โ | A question |
| Tั | A title and description |
| Image | An image |
| Video | A video |
| Section | A new section |
Sections and pages
The label at the top of the form shows the current page, such as Page 1 of 2. Use pages to break a long form into steps. The After page card at the end of each page chooses what comes next: Continue to next page, or, on the last page, Submit.
Signers always need their own place on the form. See Signers & Signing Order.
Rearrange fields
The icons on the title card let you preview, add an image, rearrange, and open form settings. Rearrange fields lists every section and field. Drag the handles to move them.
Form setup checklist
The ring beside the form's name opens Form setup, which shows what's finished and what's left. It's a good last check before you share.
| Item | Guide |
|---|---|
| Collect signatures from respondents | Signature Fields |
| Review which fields identify the respondent | Below |
| Email signers when everyone has signed | Email Signed Copies |
| Add your business name to forms | Shown at the top of the form and on the signed PDF |
| Save signed documents to Google Drive | Save to Google Drive |
| Schedule forms to send at a set time | Schedule emails |
Respondent fields
Click the pencil on Review which fields identify the respondent. These choices decide what name and email Formesign records for each response, and they appear on response cards.
Check these on generated forms
Generated forms can choose the wrong field, such as the approver's email rather than the employee's. Check them before you share.
What happens after submit
The After page card on the last page sets the submit button and the message. See Terms & Consent Screen.
Edit a form that's already collecting
Changes reach new responses right away. Before changing a required field, a signature, or approved wording, test with a practice response. Documents already signed don't change.
