Admins and ownersUpdated October 22, 2026 · 2 min read [Open Forms ↗](https://app.oneform.si/forms?help=publish-a-form) Every new form starts as a **Draft**. Only your team can preview it. Publish it, and it becomes **Live**: its link and your website start taking responses. ## Publish from the builder 1. Open the form in the builder. 2. Click **Publish** in the top bar. 3. If something isn't set up yet, OneForm asks **Publish before it's all set up?** and lists what's missing. Click **Publish anyway** to go live now, or **Not yet** to fix it first. The button changes to **Unpublish**, and the form shows as **Live** on the **Forms** page. You can also publish from the **Share** tab, or from the form's launch screen. ## Use the launch screen When OneFormAI builds a form, it opens on a launch screen. While something is left to set up, you can get back to it from the builder's top bar: click the warning that says how many things are left, such as **⚠ 2 to set up**. ![The launch screen with the ](https://app.oneform.si/media/1300c199-24d3-5597-8cf4-1cca0da47ed8) - **Before you share it** lists each step, such as **Payments are ready**, **Calendar connected** and **Publish the form**. Orange steps stop clients from finishing part of the form. - **What happens next** shows the automations OneFormAI planned. Click **Turn on** once each one is set up. - **Share it** has the link and the code for your website. You can copy them before publishing; they start working once the form is live. ## Stop taking responses 1. Open the form in the builder. 2. Click **Unpublish**. The form goes back to **Draft**. Anyone opening its link sees "This form is not accepting responses". Responses you already have stay. Publish it again whenever you like; the link stays the same. ## Good to know - **Edits to a live form go live as they save.** There's no separate draft copy, so finish big changes quickly or work on a duplicate. See [Duplicate or delete a form](https://oneform.si/help/forms/duplicate-archive-or-delete-a-form/). - **Your plan sets how many forms can be live at once.** Drafts don't count, and neither do OneForm's sample forms until you edit their questions or change their link. See [When you reach a plan limit](https://oneform.si/help/billing/when-you-reach-a-plan-limit/). - **Forms already live stay live** if you move to a plan with fewer live forms. - **Publishing with something missing is your call.** Clients who reach a step that isn't ready, like paying without Stripe connected, see a message, and you get an alert. - **Only owners and admins** can publish and unpublish forms. ## Why can't I publish my form? - **"Your … plan includes … live forms."** You've reached your plan's live forms. Unpublish a form you no longer use, or click **Upgrade**. - **"Editing a sample form's questions makes it one of your live forms."** Changing a live sample form's questions or link makes it your own, so it counts toward your limit. ## Why does my link say "This form is not accepting responses"? The form is a draft, or the link is wrong. Open the form and check it says **Unpublish** (it's live) and that the link in the **Share** tab matches the one you sent.
