A Few Things to Keep in Mind

• Calculations and Summaries are not recalculated.
• You cannot add new items to a List, Loop Screen, or Table.
• Fields are not validated for correct input. i.e. values will not reference a Field Mask when editing.
• Signatures, Drawings, Static Text (entered from either Builder), and GPS coordinates cannot be modified.
• Fields that were marked as PDF visible "if value is not blank" cannot be updated in a web edit if they were blank in the mobile submission. You are able to edit those fields on mobile.
• For conditional fields whose Condition is not met during the original mobile submission, web editing is possible, however the edit will not display on the PDF.  However, the changes will display on the PDF if you edit on mobile.
• The Submission Name will not change on the website if you edit a field that places it's value in the Submission Name.
