Moderate a public board

A public board is a searchable, read-only list of a form's submissions, such as a feature-request board people can browse, vote on and discuss. Nothing appears on it until you approve it.

Turn on a board

You switch the board on when you create the form:

  1. Turn on Public board.
  2. Under Who can browse the board, choose Anyone with the link or Only invited people.
  3. Under Fields shown publicly, tick the fields visitors see, such as a status. The entry's title always shows.

Approve or reject submissions

  1. In Admin, open Data Models and click the model.
  2. On the form's card, Pending review lists new submissions.
  3. Click Approve to publish an entry on the board, or Reject to keep it off.

Either way, the submission stays in the model as a record.

Votes and comments

Under Engagement in the model's editor:

  • Voting lets signed-in users and invited people upvote entries, and lets the board sort by Top.
  • Discussions lets signed-in users comment on entries. Comments appear immediately.

To moderate a comment, open the board while signed in. Admins see Hide and Delete on each comment. A hidden comment is shown to you with a Hidden badge and disappears for everyone else; Unhide restores it.
