How to save a Submission to cloud

The Save to Cloud feature allows users to save work on a Submission so it can be continued later on the same device or another device. This function also allows submissions to persist through clearing data in GoCanvas and uninstalling GoCanvas from a device.

In addition to the Save to Cloud feature, submission data is automatically saved each time a user leaves a screen. This includes navigating between screens in an App, or completing fields that capture data on separate screens, such as Photo, Signature, and GPS.

Save to Cloud requires a stable connection to function and a user must navigate to the Settings on their specific device and enable the feature:

To save to cloud, tap the Menu button (three dots) in the upper right corner and select Save & Close:

Type in a name for the submission-in-progress, then tap Save & Close on the new text box:

The submission will save locally and to Cloud, so users can resume the submission on their current device or another device. If no connection is available when a Save & Close occurs, the submission will be tagged and will save to Cloud on the next sync.

All Save to Cloud actions are logged in the Revision History for a submission, similar to submission edits.

Please note that Save to Cloud is not supported in the Windows Desktop Client
