Collect responses

This guide covers how to share your form, view submissions, and export your data.

To collect responses, you need to share your form. The simplest way is with a direct link.

In the form editor, click Share in the top toolbar
Copy the form link
Send the link to your audience via email, social media, or wherever makes sense

View responses

Submissions appear in the Responses tab in a table format.

Open your form in the editor
Click the Responses tab
View all submissions in the table

Click any row to see the full submission details.

Response columns follow the question order from the latest published version of your form. If an older question is no longer in the latest version but still has saved response data, it appears after the current questions with an Old label. Hover over the label to see when that question was last published. The Old label is only shown in the app and is not included in CSV exports.

Partial responses

Fomr can also capture in-progress submissions as Partial Responses. Published forms save valid in-progress answers in the background. If a respondent refreshes the page or navigates away and back in the same browser session, Fomr restores those answers.

Same-browser resume is not a cross-device save-for-later feature. Closing the browser ends the resume session. Respondents do not see a saved indicator, and autosave issues do not block final submission. If saved progress is invalid, expired, already submitted, or deleted, the form starts fresh automatically.

Free organizations can see Partial Response counts and an upgrade prompt, but not the Partial Response rows themselves.
Pro organizations can open Partial Response rows in the Responses table, view captured answers with unanswered fields left blank, and control future capture from General > Behavior > Save partial responses.
You can filter Partial Response rows out of the table when needed.
Pro CSV exports include a Response status column so you can distinguish completed and partial responses.

Save partial responses is enabled by default. Turning it off affects the live form immediately, does not require republishing, and stops future partial capture without deleting or uncounting existing meaningful Partial Responses.

Free organizations cannot open, export, delete, disable capture, or otherwise manage Partial Response rows.

Export your data

You can export responses as a CSV file to use in spreadsheet applications.

Go to the Responses tab
Click Export CSV
The download starts automatically

Your CSV works with Excel, Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, and any other tool that reads spreadsheets.

Troubleshooting

No responses showing up

Check publishing status — Is your form published? Unpublished forms can’t receive submissions.
Test the form URL — Open the link yourself to make sure it loads correctly.
Try submitting a test — Fill out your own form to see if anything blocks submission.

Missing components in responses

Make sure all components are properly saved in the editor
If you removed a question after collecting responses, look for it after the current questions with an Old label
Check if conditional logic is hiding components unexpectedly
Verify required components aren’t preventing users from submitting

What’s next?

Now that you know the basics, here are some other things you can do:

Customize your design — Change colors, fonts, and backgrounds
Set up notifications — Get email alerts for new submissions
Browse templates — Start from a pre-built form
Explore components — See all available form components
