Grayden How do you save the progress of a form in Forms Pro? I haven't been able to do it. I tried Chrome and the newest version of Edge and have my cookies enabled. Thanks for your help.

##UPDATE##

I just figured it out. You need to at least complete the first page and go to the next page. Once that is done, bookmark the page and it will pick up where you left off.

      I tested it on Edge Version 84.0.522.40 (Official build) (64-bit) on Windows 10 and Chrome Version 84.0.4147.89 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Windows 10.

      I tried this with my IMac, android phone and Microsoft Surface Pro and could not get the progress to save on any of these devices 😞
