    Hi MannaJS,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. You can easily set up an 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:

    Hi MannaJS,

    To keep the conversation organized, I moved your other question about restricting to one submission per user to its thread, and someone from our Support Team will help you with it here.
