Copy Forms to Other Categories

You may copy an existing Form to save time for Forms that share much of the same information.

Important Note:

• Copying a form essentially creates a new form record and so it will not move the submissions that are currently attached to the form, the original will stay in place and will remain untouched.

• You will also have to update any links that you may have had to the form since the new form has its own URL.
