Forms
Form statuses (Draft, Published, Closed)
Understand and change a form's status - publish a draft, stop or resume accepting applications, and close or reopen a form.
What it is
Every form is in one of three statuses:
- Draft - created but not live; candidates can't see or apply to it.
- Published - live and accepting applications; its public link works and it can appear on your public page.
- Closed - was published, now not accepting applications. The public link still opens but shows "This form is not accepting submissions right now."
Changing status
- Publish a draft - open the form in the editor and click Publish. It goes live and starts accepting applications. (Name and Email questions must exist first.)
- Stop / resume accepting - use the toggle on the form's row on the home page (or the accepting submissions toggle in Form settings). Turning it off closes the form ("Not accepting submissions"); turning it on reopens it ("Accepting submissions").
Notes & limits
- A Draft has no toggle - publish it from the editor first.
- Closing a form keeps everything (candidates, messages) - it just stops new applications. To remove a form entirely, delete it (see Delete a form).
- Only live forms appear on your public page (see Set up your public page).
- Anyone with access to the form can change its status.
