Editor overview

Everything you do to a form happens in the editor. This page is a quick map of where things live, so you always know where to click. Keep it handy—most other help articles point back here when they mention a setting.

The editor is organized into a few tabs at the top of the screen. On smaller screens they show as icons only, but they are always in the same order:

  • Build — where you add questions, arrange pages, and style the form. This is where you land when you open a form.
  • Workflowsautomate what happens when responses arrive, like sending them to Google Sheets.
  • Configure — every form setting, grouped into sections (notifications, access, sharing, and more).
  • Results — the responses people have submitted.

On the Build tab you’ll also find the Preview and Publish buttons in the top-right corner. Once a form is published, the Publish button becomes a Share button.

The Build tab is the canvas where your form takes shape. Along the left edge are three panels:

  • Pages — add, reorder, rename, and hide pages.
  • Components — the full list of question types and content blocks. Click one (or drag it) to add it to the canvas.
  • Design — the look of your form: theme, colors, logo, fonts, layout, buttons, and background. See Design and themes.

At the top of the canvas sits the Quick-add bar—a row of subtle buttons that offers Add logo while the form has no logo and Add form title while it has no form title. The buttons light up on hover, and the bar fades away as you scroll down the canvas.

To change a single question, click it on the canvas. Its settings open right there, where you can rename it, mark it required, add validation, and more.

Use the undo and redo buttons beside the page navigator to reverse recent changes in Build and Design. You can also press Ctrl/Cmd+Z to undo, or Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Z or Ctrl+Y to redo. When a focused Build or Design field is part of editor history, these shortcuts commit its current value before applying undo or redo. Fields outside editor history, such as form and page names, keep the browser’s text undo behavior.

Recent editor history includes changes to pages, components, inline text, ordering, visibility, and design settings. Continuous edits to one field, such as typing or dragging a slider, count as one step. Each form draft keeps its own history, and that history remains available after you reload the editor.

When you undo Add page, Fomr selects a remaining page and opens the Pages panel so you can see the updated page list.

Workflows keep a separate history for graph changes. Use the controls in the workflow header to undo or redo adding, removing, moving, or connecting workflow steps without affecting the form’s Build history.

Publishing, form settings, access, domains, and workflow enable or pause actions are not included in editor history. Editor undo is also separate from Version history, which records published form versions.

The Configure tab holds every form-level setting, split into sections down the side:

The Results tab lists every submission in a table. Click a row to see the full response, and use Export CSV to download everything. See Collect responses for details.

Preview (on the Build tab) opens your form exactly as a respondent will see it, so you can test the flow before going live.

Publish makes your latest changes public. Remember: changes stay in your draft until you publish again. Learn more in Form publishing.
