Enable or disable autosave progress for your respondents

You can choose to enable or disable autosave progress that stores your respondents’ answers in their web browser before submitting your form. This lets respondents close your form and come back later to finish and submit it.

When respondents start filling in a form but don’t submit it, their answers will automatically be stored in their web browser for 15 days by default. This means that if they return to a form after closing their browser, they’ll see their previous responses, and won’t have to go through answering those questions again.

If you want to disable this feature, for example, for privacy reasons, you can simply toggle a switch in your form settings to do so.

Note! Responses are saved locally in the browser, so if a respondent clears their cache or their cache is cleared automatically when closing the browser, their response data will be lost.

That’s it! This feature works on the form level, so you can control the autosave progress behavior of each individual form. The autosave progress switch is turned on by default.
