Collect partial responses

Collect partial responses places a silent checkpoint so answers save when respondents pass it - even if they abandon later. Add it from Add Block after at least one question and before later questions. Publishing is plan-gated; saved partials typically count toward response limits.

How it works

  1. Add Collect partial responses after at least one question you care about.
  2. Place it before later questions so progress past the checkpoint can save.
  3. Preview that respondents do not see a question UI at the checkpoint.
  4. Publish on an eligible plan and review partial vs complete submissions in Results.

Benefits

  • Silent checkpoint for respondents - no extra question UI.
  • Captures incomplete fills that still have value on long forms.
  • Place after questions you care about most.

Use cases

  • Long applications where early answers still matter if someone drops off.
  • Multi-section surveys that need mid-form saves.
  • Lead forms where contact details appear before optional later questions.

Limitations and plan notes

  • Partial checkpoints are plan-gated; publishing may require a higher plan.
