# Share a Form

You can share a form via a public link so that anyone - inside or outside your project - can submit responses without needing to log in (unless you require it).

## Before you share

Sharing must be enabled in the form's settings before the share link is active:

1. Open the form and click **Settings** in the toolbar.
2. Toggle **Allow Sharing** on and click **Save**.
3. A **Preview** button will appear - click it to see the form exactly as a respondent would.

See [Form Settings](/project/forms/form-settings.md) for more details on the Allow Sharing toggle.

## Getting the share link

Once sharing is enabled, the **Share** button appears in the form view toolbar (the share-social icon).

1. Click **Share** to open the share popover.
2. The popover shows the form's public URL in a read-only field.
3. Click the **copy** icon to copy the link to your clipboard.
4. Send the link to your respondents via email, messaging, or any other channel.

## What respondents see

When a respondent opens the shared link:

* The form loads without requiring a login (unless **Require logged in user** is enabled in the form's settings).
* They fill in the form and click **Submit**.
* After submitting, a confirmation page appears with a **Submit Again** button - respondents can click this to immediately fill in another response without needing the link again.

## Stopping responses

To stop accepting new submissions:

1. Open the form's settings.
2. Toggle **Allow Sharing** off and click **Save**.

The link stops working immediately. The form and all previously collected data are not deleted - you can turn sharing back on at any time.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you need to track who submitted each response, enable **Require logged in user** in form settings. Respondents will be asked to log in before they can submit.
{% endhint %}

## Saving drafts on shared forms

Respondents filling in a shared form can save a draft using the **Save Draft** button and return to it later from the same device and browser. Drafts are stored locally and restored automatically when the respondent reopens the form link.

## Submission by logged-in non-members

Information Hub users who have an account but are not members of the project can submit shared forms for that project. They do not need to be added to the project first.
