We love having the ability to save and continue in video games, so why should our WordPress forms be any different?
Sometimes, your forms need to be long and complex. So, giving your visitors a chance to save their progress and return later can mean the difference between a conversion and a bounce.
After all, who has the time to fill in ten pages of questions? Not us, and we doubt others do, either.
So, we've got a simple solution that's perfect for you and your visitors — Formidable's Save and Continue feature.
Top features
- Logged-in or Logged-out user editing
- Enable the save and continue option
- Autosave for worry-free saves
- Unique link to send to an email address for easy draft editing
Let users continue and save form submissions the easy way
Formidable's Save and Continue feature is as simple as downloading the add-on and enabling the option.
Then, the plugin adds a save button at the bottom of your form right next to the submit button. The only things you need to do are choose who can edit their form submission, whether you want to send a unique 'continue' link, and what message people see!
But what types of forms would you use this for? Well, we can think of a few with high form abandonment rates:
- Job application form
- Surveys
- Government and legal forms
- Loan applications
- Event registration forms
You'd be amazed how simply allowing users to save form progress helps your form conversions.

Limit who can edit a form draft
Sometimes, you only want to let certain users select the save option and return it later.
You can limit form entries to logged-in users to do so. Whether it's a private survey or an exclusive form, only people with access will see the "save draft" button to continue later.
But if you want everyone to have the option to save and continue, then you can also open it up to logged-out users!
Send a link to bring users back
It's great to have a way for people to click the save changes and return later.
But what will remind them to come back in the first place? We have trouble remembering the groceries we need at the store, and we need a reminder to finish a form, and your visitors are likely the same.
So, create a unique link for each visitor to copy for easy reference. Or, take it a step further and send it to their email! (You can even create a nice message to attach with it.)
But what if I don't have their email?
No worries. We've got you covered there, too. When a logged-out user tries to save without filling out your email field, a modal pops up where users can edit the email for the link!
Such a simple solution, but one that leads to HUGE results for your website.
*Note: Logged out draft saving is available in Formidable's Business Plan or above. Draft saving for logged-in users is available in Formidable's Basic Plan or above.
