On occasion, you may want to change the name of a YAPI form or make a copy of a form to edit.  In YAPI, this is the same process: renaming a form automatically creates a new copy with the new name (similar to Save As in Microsoft Word).  Follow the instructions below to rename your form, creating a new copy that you can edit.

Note: These instructions are for updating the name on iPad forms.  If you've changed the name of your iPad form and you need this form made online to reflect the new name there, contact our Customer Support team.  They can connect and make the form online for you in a couple of minutes.

Names for preinstalled online forms that show in white, pink, or blue in the Online tab of Manage Documents and Templates cannot be changed.  To change the name, these forms need to be reconstructed as an iPad form, then made online with the new name.
