    This is my main Jotform

    https://form.jotform.com/241666065426055

    This is a Jotform embedded within my main form. Can I create a BACK button that can take me back to my main form? Thank you

    Hello JM,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. We can change the style of the link in your embedded form to look like a button by injecting CSS into it. It is very easy to do. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, select the Paragraph field and click the Source code button.

    2. Copy the code below.

    <a style="background-color: blue; color: white; padding: 10px 20px; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 5px; display: inline-block;" href="https://form.jotform.com/240975179786072" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">RETURN TO REGISTRATION</a>


    3. Replace the code in the Paragraph field.

    That's it, doing this will create a button in your embedded form.

    Give it a try and reach out again if you have any other questions.

    This worked and not. Yes, those instructions brings back the original jotform, but it's a new page. If a person on the original form registered for classes, went to the class description jotform, hit the RETURN TO REGISTRATION, that causes a "new" original jotform to pop open without the previously registered classes showing up.

    I need a back button to that first original jotform. Is that possible? I can't have costumers not seeing their partially filled out forms.

    Hi JM,

    It's not possible to have a back button that connects two different forms. If you want to, you can instead combine the two forms together using the Field Manager app.

    Give it a try and let us know if you need any help.

    I ended up making separate pages using page break to reduce having one long form. This idea I think will work great
