Fix small wording errors carefully, then save and check the public form. On a published form, changes can affect people immediately.<\/p>\n

Once responses exist, keep question names and stored choice values stable. Renaming a question, deleting it, or assigning a new meaning to an old choice can make earlier responses difficult to interpret. Export a copy before a significant revision. For a new round or different questions, make a separate form, review its settings and connections, and check that its Results view has the intended starting state.<\/p>\n

Stop accepting responses<\/h2>\n
  1. Open Settings<\/strong> and select Deactivated<\/strong>.<\/li>
  2. Save and check the form as an ordinary visitor.<\/li>
  3. Update the introduction or the page linking to it so people understand that responses are closed.<\/li>
  4. Keep the survey available to the team that needs its results.<\/li><\/ol>\n

    Deactivation stops answering without being the same as unpublishing the page. Unpublish instead when ordinary visitors should no longer see the page itself. A publication end date can also end public access. Test the intended outcome; do not use an event's date range as a form-closing control.<\/p>\n

    Closing a form does not erase its responses or revoke downloads and emails. Decide separately which records to retain, export, or delete under your team's handling procedures.<\/p>"}},"category_id":{"id":316,"is_a":["meta","category"],"name":"userguide","title":"User guide","uri":"https:\/\/zotonic.com\/id\/userguide"},"content_group_id":{"id":339,"is_a":["meta","content_group"],"name":"default_content_group","title":{"_type":"trans","tr":{"en":"Default Content Group"}},"uri":"https:\/\/zotonic.com\/id\/default_content_group"},"created":"2026-10-07T11:12:55Z","creator_id":{"id":1,"is_a":["person"],"name":"administrator","title":"Site Administrator","uri":"https:\/\/zotonic.com\/id\/1"},"doc_editorial_bundle":true,"doc_editorial_edges":{"relation":[2809,2819,2909],"subject":[2554,2561,2582,2584]},"is_authoritative":true,"is_dependent":false,"is_featured":false,"is_protected":false,"is_published":true,"is_unfindable":false,"language":["en"],"modified":"2026-10-07T11:14:22Z","modifier_id":{"id":1,"is_a":["person"],"name":"administrator","title":"Site Administrator","uri":"https:\/\/zotonic.com\/id\/1"},"name":"editor_survey_change_close","pivot_geocode":null,"pivot_location_lat":null,"pivot_location_lng":null,"privacy":0,"publication_end":"9999-06-01T00:00:00Z","publication_start":"2026-10-07T11:12:55Z","slug":"changing-or-closing-a-form","summary":{"_type":"trans","tr":{"en":"Protect the meaning of existing responses when a form changes."}},"title":{"_type":"trans","tr":{"en":"Changing or closing a form"}},"title_slug":{"_type":"trans","tr":{"en":"changing-or-closing-a-form"}},"tz":"UTC","uri":null,"version":18,"visible_for":0},"uri":"https:\/\/zotonic.com\/id\/2910","uri_template":"https:\/\/zotonic.com\/id\/:id","websub":{"hub":"https:\/\/zotonic.com\/.zotonic\/websub","topic":"https:\/\/zotonic.com\/.zotonic\/websub\/topic\/2910"}},"status":"ok"}
