How to View Incomplete Form With Partial Submissions
Most people start filling out the form but leave before finishing it. This happens a lot with long surveys, applications, or lead forms. When this happens, most tools lose all the data. That means lost leads, lost insights, and wasted ad spend.
Partial submissions helps you save this data so you never miss important user information, even when someone does not finish the form in one go.
Key benefits of saving incomplete responses
You collect useful data even when users leave early. This helps you get more value from every visitor.
You can follow up with users and guide them back to complete the form later. This improves overall conversions.
Users feel less pressure because they know they can continue later. This creates a better experience and builds trust.
When this works best?
This works best for long forms that ask many questions across multiple sections. It is also very useful for lead generation forms connected to ads, promotions, or email campaigns where every response counts.
How to enable Partial submissions in Formester
First, create your form or survey.
You can use the AI form generator to build a form in seconds or choose from free pre-built form templates to get started faster.
Next, toggle on Partial submissions.
Open your form and click on the settings icon.
Choose save and continue, then turn on partial submission.
This allows Formester to store answers as users fill the form.
Then, publish and share your form.
Once everything is ready, publish the form and share the URL with your audience through ads, email, or social media.
After that, review incomplete responses.
When the form is live, go to the results tab.
Use the dropdown to switch between completed responses and partial submissions.
This helps you clearly see where users stopped and what data they shared.
Make it even more powerful with collaboration tools
You can combine this with collaborative submission so multiple people can work together on one form response in real time. This is perfect for teams, approvals, or shared applications.
You can also use unique links. These links expire after submission and let you track progress clearly. This is great for secure data collection and personal follow ups.
Final thoughts
Saving incomplete responses helps you collect more data, recover more leads, and understand user behavior better. It reduces drop offs and makes long forms easier for users to complete.
With Formester, you get smarter data collection, better conversions, and a smoother experience for both you and your users.
