Allow approvers from previous steps to edit fields

Allow approvers 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: Please be mindful of the type of information being allowed edits by users. We strongly encourage avoiding making sensitive fields (SSN, DL Numbers, etc) 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 Active Forms page, find your form and click on the menu in the upper right-hand corner of the folder.

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
