Closing your Form

You've designed and published your form from Figma, and are looking to close it to new responses. In this tutorial we show you how to do just that.

So your Weavely form has collected all the responses you need? In this short tutorial we show you three ways you can close your form for new submissions. This tutorial is also available in video format here:

Method 1: Publishing a Closing Page

This is probably the most elegant approach of the three. You can close your form for new submissions by publishing your form anew and making sure it contains only a single "we're closed" page.

Step 1: Design your Closing Page

Say that my form used the Weavely glassmorhpism theme. I might design my closing page to look as follows:

Step 2: Replace Form Pages with the Closing Page

In the Weavely plugin, remove all the pages of your form. No need to delete these from the Figma design, you can simply remove them in the plugin as follows:

All you need to do now is add your closing page, and publish your form. Any new visitor will be greeted with your closing page and will be unable to submit new responses. You can reopen your form by following this method and reversing the steps.

Method 2: Password Protecting your Form

Another way of closing your form for new responses is by republishing your form, and enabling password protection. This method is less user friendly though. You won't be able to inform new visitors that the form has closed. Nonetheless, this tutorial walks you through the process of password protecting your form.

Method 3: Deleting your Form

Definitely the most radical of our three methods! Deleted forms are, by their very nature, not open for responses. New visitors well be presented with a page showing a 404 "page not found" error. So this is definitely the least user friendly approach. You can delete forms from your dashboard as follows:
