New form and search
Use New form at the top of the sidebar to start quickly. It shows recommended forms based on your state, trade, and recent picks. Use View all templates if the form you need is not shown.
Use Search to find app pages, actions, forms, and PDF tools without hunting through the sidebar.
If Jobs appears under Features in Settings, turn it on to show Jobs in the sidebar. Jobs is still being rolled out and may not be available on every account yet. Free can view up to 3 active jobs created automatically when forms are completed. Paid plans can create and manage jobs without an active-job limit.
Open the AI assistant from the app header on any app page, or Fill with AI from the form toolbar while filling. You can turn it off for your account under Settings -> Features.
Local and cloud work
- Guest and Free: public forms save locally in this browser. Local drafts can appear on the same device for up to 7 days.
- Solo: cloud drafts save to your personal account and sync across devices.
- Team: cloud drafts save to the selected business workspace.
Switch workspace from the account menu. What you create follows the active personal or team workspace.
Completed forms
A record appears under Completed when you download a PDF and Store completed form data is on in Settings.
From a completed record you can:
- Open saved answers and download again
- Rename the record
- Duplicate it as a starting point for similar work
- Regenerate the PDF
- Download the stored PDF when stored PDF copies (Solo) or PDF audit trail (Team) is available
- View PDF history on Team (or stored PDF on Solo) when enabled
- Send the PDF to ServiceM8 when connected with PDF upload enabled
- Send the PDF to Fergus or Xero where that integration is connected and PDF upload is enabled
- Create a share link on a paid plan
- Archive or delete the record, subject to workspace permissions
Free accounts can see the last 3 completed records. Paid plans can see full history.
