Edit a form

What it is

Editing a form opens the form editor - the same screen used to create one - where you can change everything about the role: its logo, title, form description, the questions candidates answer, the theme, and its settings. Edits to a published form update the live form candidates see.

How to open the editor

From the Forms home page (https://binary.so):

• Click a draft form's row - it opens directly in the editor, or
• Open the ··· menu on any form and choose Edit form.

The editor lives at https://binary.so/forms/{identifier}/edit ({identifier} is the form's id from the URL).

What you can edit

• Logo - click Add logo to upload one, or replace/remove an existing logo.

• Title - click the title and type a new role name.

• Form description - edit the rich-text description (formatting, lists, links).

• Questions - the heart of the form. You can:

  • Add a question - click Add new question and pick a type (Short/Long answer, Number, Multiple choice → List / Dropdown / Multi-select, Phone, LinkedIn profile, Other links, Date, File upload, Video recording).
  • Reorder questions by dragging them.
  • Edit a question's text and helper description.
  • Change a question's type via Edit question type.
  • Toggle a question required.
  • Add or remove options for choice-type questions.
  • Restrict who can see a question's answers (field protection) so only chosen editors see it.
  • Delete a question.

  Name and Email are default questions - they can't be edited or removed.

• Form settings (the gear icon) - Verify email on submission, Notify about new submissions, Show on public page, and a Custom success message.

• Theme - Change theme to restyle the candidate-facing form (desktop only).

• Preview - click the eye icon to see the form as a candidate would.

Note: Changes save automatically - there's no Save button. For a draft, a Publish button takes it live. For an already-published form, your edits apply to the live form immediately.

Notes & limits

• Editing a published form changes what candidates see right away - there's no separate "draft of a live form".
• Name and Email can't be removed or edited.
• To start/stop accepting applications or close the form, use the publish toggle on the home page or Form settings - see Form statuses.
• Candidate stages are managed on the Responses page, not in the editor.
• To change who can edit the form, manage its editors - see Add members to a form.
