Add a Form To an Edition

   Click on Advanced ► Feedback
3. You can choose a form using the input selector in the area. It's also possible to change the form using the area settings panel. Which can be accessed by clicking the blue gear button.

After choosing a form the feedback area should automatically display the selected form. Now you can save the article and preview your changes.

Customize Submit Button Text and Submit Message

You can modify the text displayed on the form's submit button by accessing the settings in two ways:

1. Click on the 'Settings' button while creating the form.
2. Click on the 'Settings' button from the form's results page.

This action will open the settings popup, where you can:

• Change the submit button text, which is set to "Submit" by default.
• Change the submit message that appears after a user submits their response, which is initially set to "Thank you."
