How does GravityView work with Gravity Forms "Save and Continue"?
Gravity Forms has a built-in feature called Save and Continue that allows users to save a form and return to it later via a unique link.
GravityView does not support displaying or editing incomplete form submissions created by the Save and Continue feature.
Why doesn't GravityView support Save and Continue?
Save and Continue and the Partial Entries Add-On both allow users to save incomplete form submissions, but they store data in fundamentally different ways.
Save and Continue stores form data as a temporary draft in a separate database table. The data is accessed through a unique link containing a resume token rather than through a standard entry ID. These drafts do not appear in the Gravity Forms entries list until the user returns and completes the submission.
The Partial Entries Add-On saves the user's progress as a real Gravity Forms entry in the standard entries table, with a normal entry ID. GravityView can display, search, and edit these entries just like any completed submission.
Because GravityView works with standard Gravity Forms entries (queried by entry ID), it cannot access Save and Continue drafts, which are stored separately and identified by a resume token instead of an entry ID.
Recommendation: Use the Partial Entries Add-On
GravityView does support displaying and editing incomplete entries created using the Partial Entries Add-On.
If you need to display or edit incomplete submissions in GravityView, use the Gravity Forms Partial Entries Add-On instead of Save and Continue. The Partial Entries Add-On:
- Saves progress as real entries that GravityView can display and search
- Supports editing via GravityView's Edit Entry
- Allows filtering by completion status using the Advanced Filter extension
