You can now create Versionless Forms — a new option designed for business processes that don’t require workflow routing but need to be updated and maintained over time.

💡 Why It Matters

Some forms are used for internal management or as data repositories rather than end user forms that require routing or approvals. For these use cases, Versionless Forms allows you to make form updates that immediately apply to all existing documents.  The versionless form setting will also be applied to all General App Data in next generation products.

⚙️ What’s New

When you first publish a form, you’ll see a new option in the Publish tab called Versionless Forms.

When enabled and after initial publish, it will do the following:

• Disables form versioning: Updates and republishes automatically apply to all existing documents.
• Automatically cleans up data for removed fields (use caution when deleting).
• Removes the Workflow tab, as versionless forms are not tied to workflow.
• Removes the Dashboard tab, since submission stats apply only to end-user forms.

🔒 Important Note:  You can configure this option only during the initial publish.  After the form is published, the setting becomes read-only and appears grayed out in the Publish tab.

🚫 Workflow Compatibility

Versionless Forms are incompatible with workflow routing.

• If workflow has already been configured for the app, the Versionless Forms option in Publish will be grayed out.
• If you enable Versionless Forms and publish, the Workflow tab will be removed from the app.

🌟 Ideal Use Cases

Versionless Forms are best for:

• Internal tracking or administrative forms that don’t require workflow routing.
• Data repositories that rely on Data Sharing.

🚀 The Benefit

Versionless Forms give institutions a simple, flexible way to maintain living datasets — keeping data current without disrupting users or requiring new submissions each time the form design evolves.
