This article provides steps for how to enable mobile editing in Edit & View settings to allow users to View, Edit, or Copy submissions from their device.

Editing a submission on mobile does not have the same limitations of editing a submission in the web portal.

Edit & View

Enable Mobile Submission Editing

First, enable the ability for your users to view or edit a submission on a mobile device.

  1. Navigate to the Forms page from the left navigation.
  2. Click the form you want to allow submission editing for.

  3. Scroll down to Edit & View and click Settings.

  1. Open the GoCanvas mobile application and login to your account.

  2. At the bottom of the screen, toggle to the Completed tab.

    It is imperative to enhance the app by incorporating additional features, particularly submission capabilities, to effectively track and oversee the progress of our team members' work.

    Hi Vicki Sullivan,

    Thank you for commenting! I apologize, but I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean that incorporating live collaboration in the mobile application would be beneficial or do you mean granting permissions to users to view other users' submissions on their mobile device? Please correct me if I am misinterpreting!
