Improved
There is nothing worse than losing your work — or accidentally breaking a form that is already collecting responses. We have shipped two improvements that protect your work at every stage: automatic saving while you build and safety guardrails for published forms.
These changes work quietly in the background so you can focus on building great forms without worrying about what might go wrong.
Auto-save as you build. Your form is saved automatically as you add blocks, edit properties, configure logic, and make any other changes in the builder. No more clicking a save button and hoping you remembered to do it before closing the tab.
Published form warnings before editing. When you open a form that is currently published and collecting responses, FormLine displays a clear warning letting you know that changes will affect the live form. This prevents accidental edits to forms your audience is already using.
Prevent accidental changes to live forms. The warning prompt gives you the choice to proceed with edits or step back. This small friction point is intentional — it acts as a safety net that catches unintentional modifications before they reach respondents.
Draft and published status indicator. Every form now displays a clear status badge showing whether it is in draft or published state. You can see the status from your form list and within the builder, so there is never ambiguity about whether a form is live.
Seamless save experience. Auto-save happens in the background without interrupting your workflow. A subtle indicator confirms when your latest changes have been saved, giving you peace of mind without any disruption.
Recovery from unexpected closures. If your browser crashes or you accidentally close the tab, your most recent changes are preserved. When you return to the builder, your form is right where you left it.
These improvements address two of the most common pain points reported by our users: forgetting to save and unintentionally editing live forms. Together, they create a safer, more reliable building experience.
Auto-save and published form protection are enabled for all users automatically. Open the form builder and notice the difference — your work is now protected by default.
