# Fill in a form on a Confluence page

To fill in a form on a Confluence page, open the published page while signed in, type or pick your answers in the form's fields and select **Save**. You see **Form saved** when it has worked. To change answers someone has already saved, select **Edit** on the form first, then save again.

## Before you start

| **You need**                    | **Why**                                                                                              |
| ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| A Confluence account, signed in | Signed-out readers see **Sign in to fill this in**.                                                  |
| Edit permission on the page     | Only people who can edit the page can fill in or change its forms. Others see the answers read only. |
| The published page              | Fill the form in on the page you are reading, not in the editor.                                     |

## Steps

1. Open the published page that holds the form.
2. If the form already has answers, select **Edit** on the form.
3. Type or pick an answer in each field. Fields marked with a red asterisk are required.
4. Select **Save**. Select **Cancel** or **Reset** instead to undo your changes.
5. Look for **Form saved**. If a field turns red, fix it and save again.

Fill in the fields straight on the page, then select Save. Until you save, the form shows Unsaved changes under the buttons.

## If it does not work

* **Fix validation errors before saving**: a required field is empty or an answer breaks a limit. The problem is shown under the field.
* You can see the form but cannot type in it: you do not have edit permission on the page. See [Reader sees the form but cannot type in it](https://help.gocapable.com/forms/reader-sees-the-form-but-cannot-type-in-it.html).
* Answers typed while editing the page in the editor do not reach anyone else until the page is published. See [Filled the form while editing the page](https://help.gocapable.com/forms/filled-the-form-while-editing-the-page-and-the-answers-did-not-appear-for-anyone-else.html).
* A form holds one set of answers per page, so saving replaces what was there. See [Someone's answers were replaced by someone else's](https://help.gocapable.com/forms/someone-s-answers-were-replaced-by-someone-else-s.html).
