Adding a Comment to a Form

How to add a form comment

The Comment field is used to add internal notes about a form or section—such as design decisions, potential future updates, or guidance for future administrators. We recommend including your name and the date with each comment for clarity and tracking.

Note: Comments are not available on basic forms.

Key points to keep in mind when using comments:

Comments can be added to a form or section, either once or multiple times.
They are only visible in the admin site and do not appear in the app.
Comments can be opened, edited, and updated at any time.
They apply to all versions of the form.
Comments are tracked through change management.
They are not shown in Preview mode.
Comments cannot be printed, but their text can be copied.

To add a comment to a form, complete the following:

From the Formatting menu in the Form Designer, click Comment.
A Comment field is added to the form.
Click on it to view the Comment input slider.
In the Label field, enter a comment label. Then in the Comment field, enter the comment to include on the form.
Save your entries. The comment entered displays in the form designer.
If you don’t want to see comments while working on your form, you can click (Toggle Comments) to hide them. This is especially helpful if your comment boxes are large or contain a lot of detail.
Note: If comments are hidden and you drag a new field onto the form, the system will automatically show all comments again.
You can simply click (Toggle Comments) again to hide them if you prefer.
To remove a comment from a form, see Deleting a Comment.
