Summary: Use the Forms tab to open forms that belong to the current channel and start new form work in the right place.
Updated: 2026-04-03

Use the **Forms** tab when you want to open forms that belong to the current channel.

This tab keeps form work tied to the right channel, so it is easier to review existing forms, open one quickly, or start a new one.

## Navigation

Open a channel first, then click the **Forms** tab.

Use this tab when forms are part of the channel's day-to-day work and you want to stay in the same channel while moving between related items.

## What you can do here

- Use the **Forms** tab to review forms for the current channel.
- Open a form when you want to read it, fill it in, or update it.

## Open the Forms tab

1. Open a channel.
2. Click **Forms**.
3. Review the forms shown for that channel.

## Open a form or start a new one

From this tab, you can:

- open a form you already use
- start a new blank form
- use AI to build a form
- create a task form when that matches the work you need

If you are not sure which form to open, start in this tab and review the list first.

To create a new form, click the **+** button in the top-right area of the tab.

## Start a blank form

Choose **Blank Form** when you want to build a standard form from scratch.

After the editor opens, you can:

- enter the form title
- add a short description
- use **Add Field** to build the form structure
- review the live preview on the right while you work

## What this tab is good for

Use the Forms tab when you want to:

- keep form work connected to the right channel
- find forms without searching the whole app
- move from one form to another without leaving the channel

## Tips

- Start here when a form belongs to one specific channel.
- Open the full form page when you need more space to review or complete the form.
- If you need to create something new, use the **+** button in this tab.
- Choose **Blank Form** for a standard form or **Custom Task** when the work should follow a task-style workflow.
