How to edit response data

Sometimes, you may need to change the answers of Formli submissions. It is possible to do so by using the link to the specific response. You can change answers either by using the navigation buttons (see guide here) or by finding the link on the Response views page. Simply open the link, review the answers, and click the submission button to save the changes.

How it works

You can change the data of each response, start by adding a column called 'Response URL' for the block that requires editing. Then, you can use the provided link to check and edit the answers.

<aside> 👉 This guide assumes that you have Formli already made and it has responses. How to organise your responses into response views, see here.
