You can edit and test drafts of your survey forms from the Design tab, and only deploy them for actual data-collection when you're ready. Here's how it works:

• When you start a new form with Start new form, it always starts out as a draft. That means that nobody can see it, fill it out, or submit data for it yet. Until it's deployed, it will appear only in one place: in the Your forms and datasets section of the Design tab, highlighted in yellow. When you're ready to deploy, you can click Deploy there in the Your forms and datasets section, or click Save and deploy from the form designer. In the mean time, you can test and edit your form.
• Once you've deployed a form, you can edit it, save changes, and test those changes – all, again, without having to deploy your changes until you're ready. Until you instruct SurveyCTO to deploy something, it will remain in draft mode.
• And if you work with spreadsheet form definitions directly, you can always choose whether or not to immediately deploy whenever you upload a new or revised form definition.
