Forms
How do I close or reopen a form?
Stop a form from accepting new responses, then reopen it when you are ready.
When you no longer want to collect responses, you can close a form. Closing is reversible and never deletes the responses you have already collected.
Close a form
- Open the form in the builder.
- Click Close form in the top actions.
- Confirm in the dialog. Closing stops the form from accepting new responses.
Closing a form keeps all existing responses — they remain available on the Responses tab. Only new submissions are blocked.
Reopen a form
Closing is reversible. To start accepting responses again, Re-publish the form from the builder. Its public link becomes live again.
Form statuses
A form's status appears in the Forms list:
- Draft — being built; not accepting responses.
- Published — live and accepting responses.
- Closed — not accepting new responses (re-publish to reopen).
- Archived — set aside; not accepting responses.
Prefer the form to close on a date rather than manually? Set a Closes at time under Settings → Schedule and it will stop accepting responses automatically. See Form settings.
