# Frequently asked questions Short answers to common questions about Capable Forms. Each one links to the page with the full detail. ![The Forms byline panel with a form's answers](https://help.gocapable.com/images/d1564285-d0d6-4810-aa34-787f243ca0c5.webp) Most answers start here: select the Forms item under the page title to see the form's answers. --- ### Can more than one person submit the same form on a page? No. A form holds one set of answers per page, and each save replaces the last. To collect one response per person, give each person their own page with the same form. 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). ### Who can fill in a form? Signed-in people with edit permission on the page. Others see the answers read only, and signed-out readers see **Sign in to fill this in**. See [Fill in a form on a Confluence page](https://help.gocapable.com/forms/fill-in-a-form-on-a-confluence-page.html). ### Why does Responded by name someone who only edited the page? Before 13 October 2026, any save of the page moved it. Now it only moves when the form's own answers change, and older stamps show as **Updated by** or are left blank. See [Who filled in a form](https://help.gocapable.com/forms/who-filled-in-a-form-filled-in-by-and-responded-by.html). ### Where can I see a form's answers without opening the page? In the **Forms** side panel: select the page in Capable Search, or select its row in the form's responses view. See [Forms side panel](https://help.gocapable.com/forms/forms-side-panel.html). ### How do I export form responses? Open the form in Capable Forms and select **Export**. You get a CSV file with a row per page, up to 5,000 pages. See [Export Confluence form responses to CSV](https://help.gocapable.com/forms/export-confluence-form-responses-to-csv.html). ### Why are most input types greyed out? Only Text fields are included in the Standard edition. Long text, number, choice, people, space, page and link fields need Advanced. See [Input type dropdown shows most types greyed out](https://help.gocapable.com/forms/input-type-dropdown-shows-most-types-greyed-out-with-an-advanced-badge.html). ### Why are required fields being ignored? Rules are only checked for fields inside a Form container. A field placed on its own saves without checks. See [Required fields and limits are being ignored](https://help.gocapable.com/forms/required-fields-and-character-or-number-limits-are-being-ignored-people-are-saving-anything.html). ### Why is a page missing from the responses table or the export? Answers saved a moment ago need Confluence to index them first, and a copied page only appears after someone edits it. See [Form does not appear in the Forms catalogue](https://help.gocapable.com/forms/form-does-not-appear-in-the-forms-catalogue-or-its-pages-are-missing-from-the-responses-table.html). ### Does the Responses number in All forms count people? No. It counts pages that carry the form, including pages where nobody has filled it in yet. See [Responses number does not match](https://help.gocapable.com/forms/catalogue-s-responses-number-does-not-match-how-many-people-have-replied.html). ### Can I keep answers private from people who can read the page? No. Anyone who can view a page can read its answers, in the page, the byline and the side panel. Restrict the page to restrict the answers. ### Why do Confluence labels starting capable\_forms\_ appear on my pages? Capable Forms adds them so it can find pages with forms quickly. They come back if removed while the form is on the page. See [Labels starting capable\_forms\_ keep reappearing](https://help.gocapable.com/forms/confluence-labels-starting-capable-forms-keep-reappearing-on-our-pages.html). ### What happens if I change a field's Input type? Its saved answer and any settings that do not fit the new type are cleared. See [Changing a field's Input type wiped its answer](https://help.gocapable.com/forms/changing-a-field-s-input-type-wiped-its-answer-and-its-settings.html). --- ## Related ### [Building forms in Confluence](https://help.gocapable.com/forms/building-forms-in-confluence.html) Forms and fields. ### [Collecting and reviewing form responses](https://help.gocapable.com/forms/collecting-and-reviewing-form-responses.html) Answers and exports. ### [Troubleshooting](https://help.gocapable.com/forms/troubleshooting.html) When something looks wrong. --- _Quick answers, then back to work._
