Success Criteria

• Interface result: The After Submission editing area or settings panel is open.

Tips While Using

Entry: After Submission settings panel

2. Adjust the related settings as needed.

4. Confirm that the current result matches your expectation.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The settings are adjusted as expected and the preview displays normally.
• Next action available: You can continue editing or move to the save step.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: Saving before previewing, which can leave display details unchecked.
• Environment note: Keep an internet connection when previewing online form results.

3. Save changes and check whether they take effect

Entry: After Submission settings panel → Confirm / Save / Publish

1. After finishing the setup, click Confirm or the corresponding save button.
2. Return to the form editing flow and verify that the changes were saved.
3. If the form requires publishing before external changes take effect, publish a new version.
4. Preview again or submit a test response to confirm that the updated setup applies to new submissions.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The settings are saved, and a new version is published when required.
• Next action available: You can continue editing other form content or start collecting responses.
