Forms that allow the user to see and edit their submissions?

[Tonner_Jackson]

Hi there Airtable fam,

I’m curious if there is a way to create an Airtable form that acts like a cloud based document?

The use case here is I teach an online course and I’d love to have students submit reflections on certain lessons but I’d like them to be able to see and edit their reflections whenever they want to. Effectively allowing them to pull up the form at any time and see what they’ve written previously. Almost alike a way that Airtable can automatically save progress and allow the user to revist their posts?

I think I might have to use a Google-doc-like experience but I don’t want to force people to have a gmail account.

Thanks in advance :slightly_smiling_face:

Welcome to the community, @Tonner_Jackson!

You would need to turn to external tools to help you with that.

Here’s one that very simple:

miniExtensions

Update Existing Records with Airtable Forms - miniExtensions

This tool uses Airtable's native form and allows users to see existing data before editing. It doesn't require setting up a mirror table nor using Zapier.

Here’s one that’s way more advanced, but it provides an entire user login experience for your users:
