At the top of the form designer there are tools to help save and manage the form. You may import a form design or export a design to save on your computer. The file is JSON format.

Import a form design

To import an example form, or one of your own exported forms:

  1. Hit the 'Import' button
  2. Find the JSON file on your computer
  3. Hit 'Open'

The imported form will load into the designer. Be careful, the imported form will replace anything you've started so you may want to import into a newly created form.

To export a form:

  1. Hit the 'Export' button
  2. Save the JSON file to your computer

Exporting forms is a great way to copy an existing design or share it with others.
