 * How can I save partial entries. So, if the customer is only filling out the first
   page and the second page he skips. I only can see the completed entries.
 * Thank you!

 * Hi [@aashraf85](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aashraf85/)
 * I hope you’re well today!
 * Form can only be saved once it’s submitted, it doesn’t “intercept” data on the
   fly to keep it while it’s being filled-in.
 * Now if the fields on that second page are not set to be required, your customer
   still can submit the form without filling them and it will be saved.
 * Another option is to enable draft mode by enabling “Save and Continue” option
   in form’s “Behavior” settings. This still won’t automatically save incomplete
   submissions but will let your customers to stop fill-in in the form, save it 
   and then get back to it later to continue.
 * If they decide to save form, such partial submission will be also saved in database(
   marked as draft).
 * —-
 * If you want to automatically save such partial submissions, you would need to
   have that draft mode enabled (see above) and also add additional code to the 
   site.
 * This is the code to be added:
 * [https://gist.github.com/wpmudev-sls/9887db081b0f9704b7d2fd6282bafc94](https://gist.github.com/wpmudev-sls/9887db081b0f9704b7d2fd6282bafc94)
 * To add it to site:
 * – create an empty file with a .php extension (e.g. “autosave-form-draft.php”)
   in “/wp-content/mu-plugins” folder of your site’s WordPress install
 * – copy shared code and paste it into that file (copy raw code, without any line
   numbers!)
 * – edit the code and replace each and every occurrence of the number 2171 across
   the code with your form’s ID; form ID is the number you see in form shortcode
 * – save the file and clear all cache on site server
 * It should then automatically save draft submissions whenever user moves from 
   one form field to another.
 * Kind regards,
    Adam

 * Thank you very much Adam for the reply.
 * If I have more then one form, then I have to create several php files or can 
   I put everyhting in one file like: 2171,2345,2654
 * Update:
 * So, I did everyhting what you explained, but sadly it is not working.
 * I have the draft mode activated
 * Created a new file in mu-plugins and put the code inside and put everywhere the
   right number inside.
 * Still it is not saving.

 * Hi [@aashraf85](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aashraf85/),
 * Was the given code customized further other than the mentioned changes? I was
   able to get the code working on my test site, do you notice any drafts under **
   Forminator > Submissions**?
   Could you please share the form export, so that we
   could test and see how it behaves with your form?
 * Please check the following doc on how to export a form:
   [https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#import-export](https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#import-export)
 * If you are concerned about any sensitive information in the form, then you can
   duplicate your form, remove any sensitive information, and then export it.
 * You can share the export file via Google Drive, Dropbox or any cloud services
   in the next reply.
 * Looking forward to your response.
 * Best Regards,
 * Nithin
