Automatically save form progress so respondents can continue later.

Partial Response Saves

Picked Smart automatically saves form progress as respondents fill in fields. If they close the browser or navigate away, their answers are preserved.

How It Works

  • As the respondent fills in each field, progress is saved automatically in the background
  • If they return to the form later (from the same device/browser), their previous answers are restored
  • Once they submit the form, the partial save is converted to a complete response

Viewing Partial Responses

In the form responses dashboard, partial (incomplete) responses are tracked separately from completed submissions. This helps you understand your form's completion rate and where respondents drop off.

Use Cases

  • Long multi-section forms where respondents need to gather information
  • Application forms that require document preparation
  • Surveys that respondents may want to complete across multiple sessions
