Cannot Find Customize Form -- Also, Where are My Forms?
So, we are facing three big issues right now: We cannot figure out where our forms live. (The last SPO Admin left a month ago and we are trying to make some changes). We can find the lists, but ...
kevinmckeown8Hi, there! Yes, we are just (baby steps) starting to modernize, but I do have some older forms that I need to customize in the meantime, that seem to have been made with Designer and Infopath. How do I find the layout of the forms themselves in order to customize them differently? I would love to know. Thanks for responding!
In general,
If it is attached to a list you can usually go to List Settings > Forms and if it is InfoPath click "Modify form in InfoPath".
For XML Form Libraries (these are an old type of library specifically designed for InfoPath) you will likely need to go to SharePoint designer and use the "All Files" > Lists (if a list) or> List/Library Name > Forms (for libraries) or Item folder (for Lists) to find the file called Template.xsn
It may have another name but will have the .xsn extension. As Kevin pointed out the first step is to have InfoPath on your computer as you will need it to open the .xsn file.
After you open it you should see the form. You can then edit and use the publish function to update the form.
On lists you can use the List Settings > Forms to remove any customization (InfoPath or PowerApps).
For forms using PowerApps you can use the "PowerApps > Customize Form" link on the list menu (for modern lists) or the same as above List Settings > Forms > Customize in PowerApps
For InfoPath the .xsn file is the key. Generally people save those .xsn files somewhere. Unfortunately usually on their computer so when they leave it can be trickeir but they are on your site as well.
