    Does anyone know if the Jotform can be started by one person and completed by another on separate devices?

    Hi David,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Yes, you added an edit link in your emails so anyone who receives an email can edit your form. Let me show you how:

    • Open your form in Form Builder, and in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.
    • In the Settings menu, click on Emails and hover your mouse over the Autoresponder Email.
    • Click on the Pencil icon, and in the window that opens, click on the Form Fields dropdown menu and select Edit Link.
    • After adding the link, click on Save, and you're done.

    After submitting the form, the submitters will get an email like the one below:

    You can also add the Get Form Page URL widget to your form with a condition to disable first-person-filled fields. Let me walk you through it:

    • In Form Builder, click on the Add Form Element menu on the left side of the page.
    • Under the Widgets tab, search for the Get Form Page URL widget and add it to your form.

    Now, let's set up the conditions:

    1. In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.
    2. Click on Conditions on the left of the page.
    3. Now, click on Add a New Condition and then click on Enable/Require/Mask Field.

    Set the conditions like you see below:
