Updated form editor controls
* the form editor at forms → form editor is now labelled form editor rather than manage forms.
* the menu entries under the form all now have text labels, rather than relying just on icons.
* a menu button at the top left of the form, which remains on screen even when you scroll, pops up a box combining the controls above and below the form. The F4 keyboard key also does the same as clicking the button. Read More…

Each browser and platform behaves a little differently. The simplest is probably Chrome on Windows. The most useful is probably on a phone. Read More…
Event offer codes
