How to Unpublish a Typeform : Step-by-Step Guide
To get started, locate and open the specific form that you no longer want to keep active. This is the form you’ll be unpublishing to stop it from accepting new responses.
Once your form is open, find the Settings icon—usually represented by a gear symbol—and click on it to access various configuration options for your form.
Within the settings menu, look for the section labeled "Access & Scheduling." Clicking here will reveal controls that manage who can respond and when your form is available.
Here, you’ll see an option called "Open this form to new responses." Toggle this setting off to close the form, which prevents anyone from submitting further responses.
And that’s it! Your form is now unpublished and won’t accept any new input. You’ve successfully managed your form’s availability.
