Deactivate a Violations Form
Deactivating a violations form removes it from the public-facing pages it's attached to and stops new submissions, without deleting the form or the violations already filed through it. Use this for a form you no longer need but might want to bring back later.
Steps
- Click the Forms tab on the vertical Dashboard menu at the left side of the screen, then click Violations.
- Locate your form in the list. In the ACTIONS column, click the three-dots menu and choose Deactivate.
- In the DEACTIVATE FORM? window, click Deactivate Form to confirm.
To back out instead, click Cancel, press Esc, or click the X in the top right corner of the window.
Finding a Deactivated Form Again
- On the main VIOLATIONS list, turn on the Show Inactive toggle to display deactivated forms alongside active ones.
- To bring a form back, open its three-dots menu and choose the reactivate option, which appears in the same spot Deactivate was in while the form was active.
Note: Any page on your website that still has a deactivated form attached to it will show that the form is unavailable — reactivating the form restores it there automatically, without needing to redo the page's widget setup.
