Form Submission: Can a Jotform be Edited After Submission

Can a jotform be edited after submission?

Hi Christian,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

Yes, a Jotform submission can be edited after it has been submitted. Here’s how you can do it:

• In Jotform Inbox, you can select the submission you want to edit, click on the three dots icon at the top-right, then click Edit. You can then update the data and submit the changes. Please note that submissions of Sign documents cannot be edited.
• In Jotform Tables, you can either perform inline edits directly on the table cells without triggering after-submission events like email alerts or workflows, or you can open the entry in edit mode, make your changes, and resubmit the form to trigger after-submission actions.
• If you want to allow users to edit their own submissions, you can add an edit link to the autoresponder email by enabling the Edit Submission action button in the email settings within Form Builder.

Let me know if you need detailed steps on any of these methods.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Can I get detailed steps on the last bullet point option, please?

Hi cwimacommunications,

Sure, you can easily add the edit link in your forms' Autoresponder Email, enabling people to edit their submission later. It's easy, let's do it:

1. In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings. 

2. In the menu on the left side of the page, click on Emails.

3. Hover your mouse over your Autoresponder and click on the Pencil icon to customize it.

4. Click on the Email Content window, then click on Form Fields, and select Edit Link.

5. Customize the Edit Link the way you want, and when you're finished, click on Save on the bottom-right side of the Email Content window.

After submitting the form, responders will receive an email like the one below. Once they click on it, they'll be able to edit their submission:
