Duplicate, archive, and delete forms

Before you start

• You need access to the Forms area of the portal.
• Duplicating and archiving both work from the forms list (the ⋯ menu on a row) or from inside the builder's Settings tab.

Steps

Duplicate a form

1. On the Forms list, click the ⋯ menu on the form's row.

   

2. Choose Duplicate. In the Duplicate form dialog ("Create a copy of ... The new form will be a draft."), enter a Title (required) and, optionally, a Description.

   

3. Click Duplicate. You're taken straight into the builder for the new copy.

Archive a form

1. From the Forms list, click the ⋯ menu on the row and choose Archive — or, from inside the builder, open the Settings tab and click Archive under the Archive card.
2. A confirmation dialog asks Archive form? (or Archive this form? from the builder) and explains that the form will be hidden from your active list and can be restored later. Confirm with Archive.

Restore an archived form

1. On the Forms list, switch to the Archived tab to see archived forms.
2. Click the ⋯ menu on the row and choose Unarchive — or, from inside the builder's Settings tab, click Unarchive under the same card.

What happens next

• Archiving a form removes it from the Active tab of the forms list, but doesn't change its status (Draft, Active, or Closed) or stop it from accepting responses — an archived form that's still Active keeps accepting submissions at its public link.
• Duplicating a form creates a brand-new form in Draft status with a copy of the source form's fields, pages, scoring criteria, and rules. It does not copy the source form's responses.
• Unarchiving moves a form back to the Active tab; nothing else about it changes.

Common questions

Q: Does duplicating a form copy its responses? A: No. Only the form's structure — its fields, pages, scoring criteria, and rules — is copied. The new form starts as a Draft with zero responses.

Q: Can respondents still open an archived form's link? A: Yes, if the form's status is still Active. Archiving only hides the form from your Forms list — it's a separate thing from the form's Draft / Active / Closed status. To actually stop new responses, close the form (see Publish and share a form).

Q: Where did my form go? A: Check the Archived tab on the Forms list — archiving hides a form from the default Active view but doesn't delete it. You can restore it from there at any time.

Q: Can I permanently delete a form? A: No. Deleting isn't offered for forms in the forms list or the builder. If you're done with a form, archive it instead; it keeps its responses and can be restored at any time.
