Checklist

•    Apart from the administrators of your organization, nobody sees the form until you publish it.
•    You don’t need to save things individually, all changes you make are saved automatically.
•    There are some restrictions regarding editing published files to ensure the unity of data entries.
•    Give your form a descriptive name so you can find it easier.
•    Use field groups to divide the form into logical parts (for example: contact information).
•    The order in which you create the fields doesn’t matter – you can easily drag the fields and field groups to reorganize them.
•    Finally: remember to publish the form!
