#Worth knowing

  • The global Capabilities hide/show tab is unreachable in the standalone Forms app, even though its byline still honours the setting.

  • In the Suite on Standard without the confluence.forms flag, Forms is effectively invisible: the nav item is replaced by an upgrade promo, the search panel is filtered out, and every type except single-line text refuses to render standalone.



Better with company.
