Customize Your Form’s Settings
In Form Settings, you can completely customize various aspects of your form to align with your preferences. You can effortlessly modify the form headline to craft a compelling message that resonates with your users.
You can modify the form headline, colors, button labels, and registration settings. You can also select the user role to assign to the new users and disable the username requirement.
Additionally, you can fine-tune the colors and appearance of the form elements to match your website’s branding and aesthetic.
The Form Settings also grant you control over crucial registration settings. You can specify the user role that new registrants will be assigned, allowing you to segment and manage your user base effectively.
