User-focused documentation: this guide explains VauForms from the perspective of the person creating, sharing or responding to a form.

Draft

A draft is still being prepared. Use this stage while adding questions, changing design and testing the form.

02

Published

A published form can be opened through its public form link and can receive responses.

03

Closed

Closed is a form status intended for forms that should no longer receive normal public submissions. Availability of a dedicated close control may depend on the current VauForms screen you are using.
