# Add a form to a Confluence page

To add a form to a Confluence page, edit the page and insert the **Form (Capable)** macro. Give it a Form ID and a name, then insert one **Input (Capable)** macro inside it for each field. Publish the page, and anyone who can edit it can fill the form in and save their answers.

## Steps

1. Open the page and select **Edit**.
2. Type `/` and insert **Form (Capable)** (**Form macro (Capable)** in the standalone Forms app).
3. In **Configure Form**, enter a **Form ID**, such as `employee-onboarding`, and a **Form name** readers will see.
4. Click inside the form, type `/` and insert **Input (Capable)** (**Input macro (Capable)** in the standalone Forms app).
5. In **Configure Input**, enter a **Label** and choose an **Input type**. The **Field ID** fills in from the label.
6. Repeat for each field. Their order inside the form is the order readers see.
7. Publish the page.

Give the form a Form ID and a Form name in the Configuration panel, then select Save. The preview on the left shows how a form looks on the page.

## What happens next

The page shows the form with a **Save** button. Each time someone saves it, the answers are stored on the page and appear in the page byline, the Forms side panel and the form's responses view in Capable Forms. Use the same Form ID on other pages to collect the same form from many pages.

If the page says **Configure this macro with a Form ID before readers can submit values.**, the form has no Form ID yet.
