## Why is FormSG simplifying form set up and unifying form modes?

Admins previously had to choose between modes when setting up their forms, which added a layer of decision-making and complicated the set-up process. For those new to FormSG, it was one more thing to figure out before building anything.

Having two modes also meant the FormSG team had to support and document both. This duplication of effort slowed down the team's development and limited the team's ability to implement improvements quickly.

## Frequently asked questions

#### What happens to the forms I've already created?

Your existing forms are not affected and will continue to work as normal. **No action is needed for now.**

We'll also bring workflows to all forms, including existing Storage mode/Single-respondent forms, over the next few months. Most of this work happens behind the scenes and doesn't need any action from admins.

#### What is a legacy form?

Legacy form refers to storage mode/Single-respondent forms that were created before we simplified the modes. They continue to work as normal.

#### I used to create Storage mode/Single-respondent forms. How do I do that now?

Simply click on "Create form" at the admin dashboard. The latest version of forms works the same way, you can build your form, collect responses, and export data without setting up a workflow.

#### I created a new form and I see a "Workflow" section. Do I have to use it?

No. Workflow is optional. It's there if the form needs to be routed to multiple people for input or approval. If you just need a simple form, you can ignore it and your form will work as normal.

#### Is anything changing for webhooks?

No change for webhooks. New forms that don't use workflows, or that only have one step can continue to connect these to other systems using webhooks.If your new form has a workflow with two or more steps, you can continue to connect it with Plumber.&#x20;

We're working on supporting webhooks for forms with multi-step workflows on other systems, and will update you as this progresses.

#### I used to create Multi-respondent forms. How do I do that now?

Simply click on "Create form" at the admin dashboard. Once your form is set up, select "Workflow" from the side navigation to build your workflow.

#### I need to create a new form with multi-language support. What should I do?

Multi-language support isn't available for new forms created on the latest version of FormSG yet. If you need to create a new form with multi-language support, you'll still be able to do so via a legacy form. On the set-up page, select "legacy version of FormSG" to create a legacy form:

#### I created a new form but now realise I need Multi-language support. What should I do?

You'll need to duplicate your form into the legacy version of FormSG. Here's how:

1\. Duplicate your existing form from the admin dashboard. This will copy over all your form fields and settings.

2\. On the form set-up page, click "legacy version of FormSG" to create a form using the legacy version of FormSG.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://guide.form.gov.sg/faq/faq/simplified-form-set-up.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
