How do I edit a form?
### Form Management

You can edit a form through your [Account Dashboard](https://paperform.co/dashboard/) by locating your form in the list (or grid) shown, and then select the "Edit" button next to it.

Here's where you can find the edit button for each different view:

### Grid View

## API Editing (Available on Select Plans Only)

O n select [pricing plans](https://paperform.co/pricing/), our API is available for editing form fields in limited capacity. Further details can be found within our [documentation](https://paperform.readme.io/reference/form-fields-1).

## Gotchas

 - Paperform currently don't support form editing from mobile or tablet devices, so if the "Edit" button doesn't appear ensure you're using a desktop device first.
