Post-Installation Instructions

After successful installation of the package in your chosen org, you are ready to use the application without any further set up required, granted that you will distribute forms only internally, to your salesforce/community/digital experience/portal users.

If you wish to share forms externally with non-salesforce users, you will need to set up a Site or Digital Experience with guest user access.

Upgrading

We regularly push upgrades to our customers, however if you wish to manually upgrade your instance to a specific version, follow the "Install from Link" instructions.
