What it does
Long applications, detailed surveys and multi-step forms ask a lot of visitors. People get interrupted, close a tab or run out of time, and everything they typed is gone. This add-on gives them a way out: they click Save, leave, and return to a form that still holds their answers. It works with any form you build in Ninja Forms, which needs to be active on your site, and you add the Save field to an existing form without writing code.
How saving works depends on who the visitor is. Registered users can keep several saves of the same form, see them in a personal table on the form page and load or edit any of them. Guests who are not logged in have their input kept in local browser storage on their own device. On the admin side, a dashboard lists every saved form so you can review it, edit it or turn it into a completed submission. You can also run actions on save, such as sending an email or showing a custom success message.
Best for
- Sites running long application or registration forms
- Researchers and organizations publishing detailed surveys
- Ninja Forms users building multi-step forms
Features
Save button where you want it
Drop a customizable Save field into any Ninja Form and place it wherever it makes sense, so visitors can store their work in progress at that point.
Multiple saves for registered users
Logged-in visitors can save more than one version of a form, then return to manage, load and edit those saved entries later.
Load saved progress table
Registered users see a personal table of their saved forms right on the form page, making it quick to reopen any previous save.
Local storage for guests
Visitors who are not logged in have their input kept on their own device through browser storage, so an interrupted session does not wipe their answers.
Admin management of saves
A dashboard shows all saved forms in one place, where admins can view and edit entries or convert them into finished submissions.
Actions triggered on save
Set up email notifications or custom success messages that run each time a visitor saves, so people know their progress was stored.
Works with multi-step forms
Suited to long and multi-part forms, including ones with repeatable fieldsets and date fields, so saved progress reloads into complex layouts.
