Save, export, and import forms
The header Menu (hamburger) holds save, download, ZIP export/import, Print, and Clear.
For a short overview, see also Export and share your form.
Open the menu
- Click the Menu button (hamburger) in the header.
- Review items. The exact list depends on your deployment (storage, schema export, etc.).
Save and Save as
| Item | Use when |
|---|---|
| Save | You want to keep the current form in storage |
| Save as… | You need a copy under a new name |
The save shortcut is Ctrl+S on Windows/Linux or ⌘+S on macOS when focus is on the page background.
If save fails, check the browser console. Your administrator may need to fix storage configuration.
Download and Upload (single form)
| Item | Use when |
|---|---|
| Download | You need one .json file for the active form |
