Partial Save

Preserve user progress when the form is not completed

Partial Save preserves user progress when the form is not completed. If a user closes the tab or navigates away, their answers are retained. You can optionally configure partial submissions to be automatically marked as complete after a specified duration. This helps reduce drop-off and capture more feedback from users who don't finish in one session.

When to use

  • Long forms where users may need multiple sessions to complete
  • Reducing frustration when users accidentally close or navigate away
  • Capturing partial data that can still be valuable for analysis
  • Automatically finalizing abandoned responses after a set period

Configuration

  1. Go to the Advanced tab and locate Partial Save.
  2. Toggle to Enabled.
  3. (Optional) Set Auto-Mark as Submitted After — enter a number of minutes (e.g. 180) after which partial submissions are automatically marked as complete.
  4. Leave this field empty to keep partial submissions pending indefinitely.
