How to Use Inline Editing in Sparkforge Forms, Surveys & Quizzes

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

Sparkforge's inline editor lets you click any text in a form, survey, or quiz and edit it directly in the live preview. Labels, dropdowns, buttons, and headings update in real time without opening a settings panel.

Sparkforge ships an inline editor inside the form, survey, and quiz builder. Click any text in the live preview, type your change, and it updates instantly. No side panels, no extra clicks.

What you can edit inline

Text fields: field labels and placeholder text
Dropdowns: click a dropdown option to rename it
Checkboxes and radio buttons: update choice labels in place
Buttons: edit CTA button text directly
Headings, paragraphs, and Terms & Conditions: formatting toolbar appears on click

Formatting options for text and headings

Click into a Text, Heading, or TnC element to surface the inline toolbar. From there, apply bold, italic, underline, font size, and color. Changes preview immediately so you can confirm brand consistency without writing custom CSS.

Mobile-specific copy

Use the device toggle in the builder to switch to Mobile, then edit the mobile version of any text element. Desktop and mobile copy are stored separately so a mobile edit will not overwrite the desktop version.

How to use inline editing

Open the form, survey, or quiz from Sites > Forms (or Surveys/Quizzes).
Click any text element in the preview, including labels, dropdown options, and CTA buttons.
Type to replace the text. Changes appear immediately in the preview.
Repeat for any other elements you want to update.
Click Save to commit the changes, then Publish when you are ready.

When to use the settings panel instead

The settings panel is still available for advanced configuration like conditional logic, validation rules, and field types. Inline editing is for fast copy changes; the settings panel is for structural changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does inline editing work on every form type?

What can I change with inline editing?

Field labels, placeholder text, dropdown options, checkbox and radio button choices, CTA button text, headings, and paragraph copy.

Are changes saved automatically?

No. Edits appear in the preview in real time, but you still need to click Save to commit and Publish to push the form live.
