    Hi Vicki,

    Yes, you can simply add the {edit_link} tag in your email notification or autoresponder to automatically generate an edit link for your suppliers. This link allows them to access and edit their submission directly.

    Here’s how to add the edit link to your email:

    1. Open your form in Form Builder, and in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.
    2. In the Settings menu, click on Emails and hover your cursor over the Notification Email.
    3. Click on the Pencil icon, and in the window that opens, click on the Form Fields dropdown menu and select Edit Link.
    4. After adding the link, click on Save, and you're done.
