Introduction
In many workflows, form submissions don’t always mean the process is finished. A user may submit a form and later realize a small detail needs correction—or an administrator may need the respondent to quickly update their information without starting over.
With BoloSign, respondents can edit their form responses directly from the original email they received. There’s no need to resend the form, generate a new link, or manage multiple versions. The form opens pre-filled with the previous responses, and once resubmitted, the latest data is automatically updated in your dashboard.
This ensures your form data stays accurate while keeping the experience simple for both you and your respondents.

Why This Feature Matters?
Many business processes rely on forms that don’t always stay static. Details can change, corrections may be required, and follow-ups can become time-consuming.
This feature is especially useful for:
HR onboarding where personal or banking details may need correction
Client intake forms where users update contact or business information
Compliance and regulatory forms that require accurate, up-to-date data
Contracts and agreements where minor edits are needed after initial submission
Instead of resending forms or managing multiple responses, BoloSign ensures all updates are captured in a single, reliable record.
