Starting with a brand new integration ๐Ÿ‘‡

โšก๏ธ Instant page transitions

Multi-page forms just got faster. There's now zero wait time between form page transitions.

This was a big behind-the-scenes change. We're excited to hear how it improves your conversion rates!

๐Ÿ“ Edit existing submissions

Need to resubmit an existing response?

Open a submission in Fillout and click "Edit submission" to open a pre-filled update form. Re-submitting the form will also rerun any integrations.

Fillout has entered a new dimension (literally!). As of today, your forms can show questions side by side, in multiple columns.

This was a tricky one to add since we always want to balance ease-of-use of the drag-n-drop system with power and flexibility.
