# Forms side panel

The **Forms** panel shows a page's form answers in the side panel, without opening the page. Use it to check one page's answers while you work through a list of pages.

![Capable Search with a DS page selected and the side panel showing the Forms section with Filled in by, Filled in and each answer](https://help.gocapable.com/images/f4d0e068-9e10-4d5f-8a6e-eb2da15844bb.webp)

In Capable Search, select a page and open Forms under Capabilities in the side panel. It shows who filled in each form, when, and every answer.

## Where you find it

| **Place**                                | **How you open it**                                                                                                                            |
| ---------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Capable Search                           | Select a page in the results. **Forms** is under **Capabilities** in the side panel, with a badge showing how many forms the page has.         |
| A form's responses view in Capable Forms | Select a row, or press Enter or Space on it. The page's side panel opens with **Forms** at the top and the form you were viewing listed first. |

**New on 13 October 2026.** The panel now shows who filled each form in and every answer, and selecting a row in a form's responses view opens it.

## What it shows

One section per form on the page, titled with the form's name:

| **Row**           | **What it shows**                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Filled in by**  | The person who last saved this form's answers.                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| **Filled in**     | When they saved them.                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| One row per field | The field's label and its answer, in the order the fields appear on the page. Choices show their label and colour, people, pages and spaces show by name, and a link opens when you select it. An empty field reads **No response**. |

Each section ends with **View all responses →**, which opens that form's responses view so you can compare pages. It is left out for the form you are already viewing.

If the page has no forms, the panel says **No forms on this page**.

## Filled in by, or Updated by

A form filled in before 13 October 2026 can show **Updated by** and **Updated**. That older stamp named whoever last saved the page, not necessarily who filled in the form, so it is labelled differently. It becomes **Filled in by** the next time the form's answers change. See [Who filled in a form](https://help.gocapable.com/forms/who-filled-in-a-form-filled-in-by-and-responded-by.html).

## A few things that catch people out

* Only fields inside a Form container appear. A field placed on its own is not listed.
* Anyone who can view the page can read the answers here.
* The panel reads the page's stored copy of its answers. On a page with very large forms that copy can be trimmed, so check the page itself. See [Large form's answers stopped appearing](https://help.gocapable.com/forms/large-form-s-answers-stopped-appearing-in-the-byline-the-catalogue-and-property-search-but-they-a.html).
