# 📝 How to Enable Partial Submissions?

Want to capture responses even if users don’t complete the entire form? Enable **Partial Submissions** to collect valuable input as it's entered—no need for users to hit “Submit.”

### Steps to Enable:

1. Open your form in the **Edit Form** view.
2. Click **Settings** in the upper-right corner.
3. In the right-hand panel, go to **Submission Settings**.
4. Toggle on **Collect Partial Submissions**.
5. Click **Publish** to save your changes.

Once enabled, OpnForm will automatically save and store user input as they fill out the form—giving you more data, fewer drop-offs, and better insights.

### What Happens After Enabling

* A new **Status** column will appear in your submissions table, indicating whether each entry is **Partial** or **Complete**.

* Integrations in OpnForm (such as Notion, webhooks, and email notifications) **only trigger on complete submissions**. This is to ensure that you're working with finalized and intentional data.

**For example:**

If a user starts filling out your form but leaves before completing it—such as closing the tab or navigating away—OpnForm may still record this as a **partial submission** if enough data has been entered.

However, since the form wasn't fully submitted:

* **No integrations will be triggered**
* **You won’t receive an email notification**
* **No data will be sent to Notion, webhooks, or other tools**

Only when a user **completes the form and clicks “Submit”** will the submission be marked as **complete**, and your configured integrations will run as expected.



You can now move the Status column—just click the column dropdown, then drag and drop it to reorder.
