# Webform Permission Setting - "Save & Finish Later" Button

## The “Save & Finish Later” setting allows applicants to pause a multi-step webform and return to complete it at a later time. This feature improves completion rates by giving users flexibility: but it can be enabled or disabled depending on your business needs.

This article explains **where to find this setting** and **how it behaves when toggled on or off**.

### Where to Locate the Setting

![](https://help.lendingwise.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Apr-07-2026-09-02-31-7184-PM.png?width=670&height=324&name=undefined-Apr-07-2026-09-02-31-7184-PM.png)

1. Go to Settings \> Platform Settings \> Company Settings and find the Webform card. Click Save at the bottom of the page after changing it.
2. Find the toggle for:  
   Include **Save & Finish Later** Button on webforms?

---

### How the Setting Works

#### ✅ When Enabled (Toggle ON)

- A **“Save & Finish Later” button** appears within the webform
- Users can: 
    - Save their progress at any point in the application
    - Exit the form without losing entered data
    - Return later using a saved link or email prompt (if configured)
- Partial applications are stored in the system
- Ideal for: 
    - Longer or more complex applications
    - Scenarios where users may need time to gather information

**User Experience:**

- The button is visible throughout the form (typically at the bottom)
- Clicking it prompts confirmation and may trigger an email with a resume link

---

#### ❌ When Disabled (Toggle OFF)

- The **“Save & Finish Later” button is hidden**
- Users must: 
    - Complete the application in a single session
    - Restart if they leave before submitting
- No partial data is saved unless the form is fully submitted

**User Experience:**

- Streamlined interface with fewer options
- Best suited for: 
    - Short forms
    - High-conversion, quick-entry workflows

---

### Key Considerations

- **Data Capture:**  
  Enabling the feature ensures partial data is not lost, which can improve conversion rates
- **User Convenience vs. Simplicity:** 
    - ON = flexibility for users
    - OFF = faster, distraction-free completion
- **Follow-Up Opportunities:**  
  When enabled, saved applications can be used for follow-up workflows or reminders

---

### Best Practices

- **Enable** for: 
    - Loan applications
    - Multi-step Quick app/Full App webforms
    - Any process requiring detailed input
- **Disable** for: 
    - Lead capture forms
    - Simple registrations
    - Quick qualification forms

---

### Summary

The **“Save & Finish Later” permission setting** directly controls whether users can pause and resume a multi-step webform. Turning it **on** enhances flexibility and data retention, while turning it **off** simplifies the experience and encourages immediate completion.

---

If you’re unsure which setting is right for your workflow, consider the **length and complexity of your form** as your primary deciding factor.

Note: the button only shows on the multi-step borrower Full App. The Quick App never has it.
