The Save and Continue add-on allows users to save their partially filled information on Everest Form and continue to work on it later. Users will be able to access it with the help of a link provided to them when prompted with it. They can also choose to receive the link via email.
Similarly, this add-on also includes a feature of the offline form. Sometimes, while filling out the form, the users may face sudden internet problems, and the data they have entered will disappear. So we come up with the offline form feature from where you can restore the data back. The data entered in the form will be stored for 48 hours even if users close their tab or browsers.
