What is 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
- Add Collect partial responses after at least one question you care about.
- Place it before later questions so progress past the checkpoint can save.
- Preview that respondents do not see a question UI at the checkpoint.
- 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.
