# Save and return to your CaptureIQ form later

Sometimes respondents don’t finish a form in one go. With CaptureIQ, you can allow them to **continue where they left off** — without losing progress.

## Step 1: Enable Autosave in Settings

* In your **form settings**, turn on **Auto Save Progress**.
* Once enabled, responses will be saved automatically in the respondent’s browser.

## Step 2: Start Filling the Form

* When a respondent begins answering, CaptureIQ saves the fact that they’ve **started the form** (even before entering answers).
* This helps you measure how many people began but didn’t submit, giving you **completion rate insights**.

## Step 3: Return Later

* If respondents come back on the **same device** and **same browser**, their saved progress will be restored.
* The form will reopen at the **next unfilled question**, so they can pick up right where they left off.

<Warning>Progress is not saved in **Incognito/Private mode**.</Warning>

## Step 4: Submit Options

* If a respondent **completes the form**, their submission is recorded as **Submitted**.
* If they submit without answering all questions, the entry is recorded as a **Partial Submission**.

## Autosave Duration

* Saved progress remains in the browser’s local storage for **15 days**.
* After this period, respondents will need to start fresh.

<Tip>
  Enable **Auto Save Progress** for longer or multi-step forms to improve
  completion rates and make the experience smoother for your respondents.
