How to edit response data
Sometimes, you may need to change the answers of Formli submissions. It is possible to do so by using the link to the specific response. You can change answers either by using the navigation buttons (see guide here) or by finding the link on the Response views page. Simply open the link, review the answers, and click the submission button to save the changes.
How it works
You can change the data of each response, start by adding a column called 'Response URL' for the block that requires editing. Then, you can use the provided link to check and edit the answers.
This guide assumes that you have Formli already made and it has responses. How to organise your responses into response views, see here.
How to edit your responses via the response view
- Go to
Responses. - Choose or create the response view.
- Click on
Columnsbutton. - Click on
+Add Columns. - In the column picker choose ‘Formlis’(1), your Formli name (2), The Formli’s block (3) of the response that need editing.
- Check the
Response URLcolumn. - Click on the

Response URLcolumn is added to the end of the table. - If you copy this URL and open it in the browser, you will be able to edit the response starting from this block. After you click on the ‘Continue’ button, the new answers will be saved in the responses.
You can also transform URL into HTML Edit button.

Response URLcolumn in the column list. Open…menu and click on theEditbutton. - In the
