How to Collaborate on a Single Form Submission?

Sometimes, one form needs input from more than one person. Maybe HR fills one part, the manager fills another, and the new employee adds the final details.

Sending emails back and forth or using spreadsheets is a mess.

That’s why** collaborative form submission** matters and why Formester makes it super easy.

In this post, you’ll learn what form collaboration is, how it works, and how to set it up in just a few clicks.

What Is Form Collaboration?

Form collaboration means more than one person can work together on a single form submission. Instead of everyone filling out separate forms or waiting for a copy, each person adds their part to the same form entry.

With Formester’s collaborative form feature, you can:

• Save your progress

• Share a unique link

• Let others fill out the rest

It’s like passing a digital clipboard around, no confusion, no lost data.

Why Use Collaborative Form Submission?

Here’s why this feature is a game-changer:

• Keep Everything in One Place: No need to combine multiple forms or chase missing answers.

• Save Time: Each person fills only what’s needed, without repeating information.

• Reduce Errors: Everyone sees what’s already filled, so nothing gets duplicated or missed.

• Easy to Use: No logins, no technical setup. Just toggle a setting and share a link.

How to Collaborate on a Form in Formester

You can set up a collaborative form in just 3 simple steps:

Step 1: Turn On Collaboration

• Go to the Formester form builder

• Open your form or create a new one

• Click Settings → Advanced Settings

• Toggle Save and Resume Later

This option enables users to save a partially filled form and return later or pass it to someone else.

Step 2: Fill and Save Your Progress

• Start filling out the form

• Click the Save and Resume Later button

• You’ll get a unique collaboration link

This link saves all current entries and lets the next person continue where you left off.

Step 3: Share the Link with Your Team

• Send the collaboration link to the next person

• They open the form and see everything filled so far

• They complete their part and either submit or pass it on again

Repeat this until the form is complete and ready to submit.
