Allow later approvers to edit previously filled fields

Allow approver steps to edit specific fields filled out by previous steps. These settings might only be available to certain access levels. Click here to learn more about what these different types of access mean.

Note: We strongly encourage avoiding making sensitive fields (SSN, DL Numbers, etc) editable on your district forms.

For an approver to edit a field from previous steps, two things must happen:

1. Form Owners must mark the field as Editable by Approvers. 
2. The step must have Editing Rights turned on. 

Marking a field as Editable as a Form Owner...

1. Log in to your account
   
2. On the main Manage Forms page, find your form and click on the menu in the upper right-hand corner of the folder.
   
3. Click on the Edit Document option.
   
   
4. Click on the field to open the grey field settings box
5. Click on the "Editable by approvers" checkbox at the bottom to enable edits
   
   Tip: You can toggle all editable fields to be visible by changing the Badge Option under advanced options to Show Editable by Approver.
   

Turning on editing rights as a Form Owner or Manager...
