# Save Progress Button in Fluent Forms

The **Save & Resume** field in Fluent Forms allows users to store their form progress in the database without being logged in. A unique link is generated, enabling users to continue filling out the form later from any device.

This guide will walk you through adding and customizing the **Save & Resume** field in Fluent Forms.

> The **Save & Resume** Input Field is an advanced feature of the Fluent Forms plugin. To use it, you require the **[Fluent Forms Pro Add-on](https://fluentforms.com/docs/how-to-upgrade-to-fluent-forms-pro/)**.

## Adding a Save Progress Button Field

To learn how to add the **Save & Resume Input Field** to Fluent Forms, follow the steps below-

First, go to the **Forms** section from the Fluent Forms Navbar, choose a desired form, and click the **Edit** **Icon** to open the Editor page of that form.

> If you do not have any existing forms, read[Create a Form from Scratch](https://fluentforms.com/docs/how-to-create-a-form-with-fluent-forms/) or[Create a Form using Templates](https://fluentforms.com/docs/using-and-customizing-pre-built-quick-forms-in-fluent-forms/) documentation to create a new one.

Once on the **Editor** page, click the **Plus Icon** in your form editor and open the **Advanced Fields** module. You can also find this option in the right sidebar under the **Input Fields** tab.

Now, select the **Save & Resume**Input field by clicking or dragging it and dropping it into your editor.

### Rich Save & Resume Options

Under the Input Customization tab, you will find various settings options for customizing the field. These options allow you to configure essential aspects of the **Save & Resume**Inputfield.

All the settings under the **Save & Resume Input Field** mentioned above are briefly explained below-

**A. Button Text:**You can choose your button text **Default** or **Image**. Users can customize button text using this field if you keep button text by default. Whichever text is used for this field will be shown as the button text.

If you select the **Image** option, you can add an image as your button with the image **URL**. Also, you can add **Image Alt text** for your button.

**B. Button Style: **You can choose the button style dropdown option from the right side. Also you can select **Custom** options to adjust predefined color schemes, position, and functionality. 

- **Background Color:**Choose a suitable background colour for the button according to your website's colour scheme. In my case, the default background color is blue.

- **Text Color:** Based on the background colour, you can give a smooth colour to the button text. 

- **Border Color:**The button, by default, has a one-pixel border. You can also define a color for the border.

- **Border Radius:**Enter the border-radius that suits your forms.

- **Min-Width:**You can give a minimum width to the button in pixels and percentages, whichever suits your form. A 100% min-width will be a full-width button.

**C. Button Size:**Select the button size suitable for your form. There are three options: Small, Medium, and large. You can choose one option.

**D. Content Alignment:**This option defines how the content will be aligned.

**E. Success Message:**Enter a text that displays when the user sees their progress is saved.

**F. Allow Only for Logged-in Users:**If you select **Yes**option here, then**only** logged-in users can use Save & Resume. If you choose the **No** option, all users can save the progress.

**G. Enable Email Link**: You can allow users to get an **Email Resume Link** by selecting the **Yes** or **No** options.

**H. Email Subject:** You can use {form_name} placeholder to get the Form Name.

**H. Email Body:**Enter the email body text here.

> You can also use the same style features for the Hover States of the button. Click on the hover state and apply the same styling features that suit the active state styles.

### Advanced Options

Advanced settings allow further customization to meet specific use cases. All the **Settings** under the **Advanced Options**tab mentioned in the screenshot are briefly explained below –

**A. Container Class:** Use this option to add your custom CSS classes to the field’s wrapper.

**B. Element Class:**Add custom CSS classes to the input field.

**C. Name Attribute:** The input field’s name attribute is the HTML equivalent of the same name. You don’t need to modify this.

**D. Conditional Logic:**This option allows you to create specific rules to dynamically hide/show the input field to function conditionally based on your submission values according to your set of conditional logics. To learn more, read this [Documentation](https://fluentforms.com/docs/set-up-forms-with-conditional-logic-in-fluent-forms/). 

**E. Send Email on Partial Entry Created**: If you want to enable the user to receive an email when they initially save the progress, select the **Yes** options, or if you don’t receive an email when they initially save progress, select the **No** options.

**F. Send Email on Partial Entry Updated**: If you want users not to receive an email when they update their saved progress, select the **No** option, or if you're going to receive an email when they update their saved progress, select the **Yes** option.

To integrate and display the form on a specific Page or Post, **copy** the **Shortcode** from the top right side and **paste** it into your desired **Page or Post**.
