Premium Gravity Forms add-on

Personal Edit Link

Let people correct their own form submissions with a private link

Personal Edit Link is a Gravity Forms add-on that reopens an existing entry for editing on the front end through a secure personal link. The form opens with the saved answers, and submitting it updates the original entry instead of creating a new one. It works on its own or as a Gravity Flow workflow step.

  • Support from the developers
Staff create a personal edit link on a grant application. The applicant opens it, finds the form filled in, cannot change the locked organization field, completes the project description and saves. The same link is then refused, and the entry shows the new text with the old and new values in its audit history.

For site owners and agencies who collect applications, registrations or requests with Gravity Forms and need submitters to correct or complete their own entries.

Corrections come from the person who knows the answer

Send a private link and the submitter fixes the mistake or adds the missing information in the original form. No more copying corrections from emails into entries.

One entry, always up to date

Submitting the reopened form updates the original entry. You do not get duplicates, and every report, view and export keeps showing one record per submission.

You stay in control of what changes

Choose which fields can be edited, how long a link works and how often it can be used. Each edit is logged with the old and new values.

Use cases

  • Let an applicant complete a grant or job application that a reviewer marked as incomplete.
  • Send a booking or event registration back so the guest can change dates or attendee details.
  • Return a request in an approval workflow to the submitter for missing documents, then continue the workflow.
  • Ask members to check and update their registration details once a year.
  • Let a supplier correct their onboarding form without creating a second entry.
  • Reopen an order intake form for a customer to replace an uploaded file.

Features

  • Secure personal edit links

    Create a link from the entry detail page, for selected entries with the Generate personal edit links bulk action, or automatically after each new submission. Links expire after a lifetime in days, on a date from a field or at a fixed date and time.

  • The original form, filled in

    The link opens the same form with the saved answers. Mark fields as Not editable in Personal Edit Link; admin-only fields and pricing fields (products, options, quantity, shipping, total, credit card) are always locked.

  • File uploads kept, replaced or removed

    Existing uploads are shown next to the upload field. Depending on the Editable upload fields setting, users keep them, add or replace files, or remove them.

  • Emails with the link in them

    Send the link with Gravity Forms notifications on the events Personal Edit Link: token created, resubmission and token expired, using the {gwp_reopen_link} or {gwp_reopen_token} merge tag.

  • Audit history for every edit

    Store audit history records each resubmission with the changed fields, old and new values and upload changes, and shows it on the entry detail page.

  • Gravity Flow workflow steps

    The Reopen Entry for Editing step opens the entry with a new link and can wait until it is edited or the link expires, each with its own next step. Reopen Entry by Entry ID reopens an entry of another form from a workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Personal Edit Link create a new entry when the form is submitted again?

No. Submitting the form through a personal edit link updates the original entry, and the edit count of the entry goes up by one.

Do users need a WordPress account?

No. With the access mode Token only, the link is enough. Choose Token and logged-in entry user to also require that the user who created the entry is logged in.

Do I need Gravity Flow?

No. You can create links from the entry screens or automatically after each submission and send them with Gravity Forms notifications. Gravity Flow adds workflow steps that wait for the edit.

Can I stop users from changing certain fields?

Yes. Mark a field as Not editable in Personal Edit Link in its field settings. Admin-only fields and pricing fields are always locked.

What happens when my license expires?

Everything you installed keeps working. You no longer get downloads, updates, new features and support until you renew.

Can I get a refund?
