    Hi Daniel,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Sure, you can set it up so that anyone who submits your form can edit it after they've submitted it. It's easy, let's do it:

    • 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 cursor 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:

    However, it sounds like you want to send the {edit link} with an existing Submission. If so, kindly follow this guide about How to Request Submission Updates in Jotform Tables.

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