[New] Template Versioning: Update Your Templates While Maintaining Historical Data

 · 

The GoFormz Editorial Team


We are proud to announce the release of our newest feature, Template Versioning, which is now enabled across all GoFormz accounts. 

Template Versioning allows users to Publish updates to their form Templates. Each time a Template is Published, a new version becomes available for future forms to be created from. These published changes do not impact forms created from the original version of the template. This functionality is especially useful as it allows users to optimize their Templates as needed, without risking the loss of data saved within forms generated from earlier versions of the Template. For example, without Template Versioning enabled, if a user were to delete several fields within a Template they run the risk of losing data previously captured within those fields. 

“Save Draft” 
Template Versioning also allows users to edit their form and save it as a draft, empowering them to optimize their Templates at their leisure, without losing their changes or publishing before they are ready to do so. We highly recommend regularly saving your draft while making changes to your Template.

Preview changes
This functionality also allows users to Preview their changes within the  Web Form Editor. For example, if you were to make a Signature field Required, in the Preview editor you would have the opportunity to test this functionality. This feature allows users to fully test changes to their Template, before Publishing account-wide. 

Publish changes
Once you have saved and previewed your changes, you can confidently Publish a new version of your template. With your edits Published, new forms utilizing said Template will include these modifications while filling out their forms. Meanwhile, any data collected within previous versions of the Template will remain untouched and available within your account.
