Form Buttons

There are several buttons that can appear on your form: Submit, Calculate, Reset, Print, Next, Previous, Preview, Save for later, and Update Submission.

The Submit button appears by default on all forms. The Calculate button will display only if you have integrated a payment processor but choose to not display the live order summary. The Reset and Print buttons can be enabled in the Form Editor. To do so, click on the Submit button area to open its Edit panel and select them in Additional buttons.

The Next and Previous buttons will automatically display on multi-page forms. To enable the Preview and Save for later buttons you need to check their features in the Advanced section (under the Submissions tab). The Update Submission button appears when users edit their submission.

You can change the appearance of your buttons using our form designer. Go to Design and expand the Buttons section.
