Forthcoming features

These are the features we’re working on next and approximately when we hope to release them.

This information is just a guide. It’s not everything we’re doing, and things may move.

We’ll update everyone with an account when we release new features. Or you can sign up to our mailing list for updates.

What we’re working on now

• The ability to receive form submissions in other formats - not just in the body of individual emails
• Allowing people to give multiple responses to a question - for example to provide a history of home addresses

By the end of 2024

• Allowing people to upload files - for example, documents or photos
• ‘Branching’ to give people a different set of questions depending on their answer to a previous question
• ‘Exit pages’ to tell someone they cannot use the form after they’ve answered some qualifying questions

After 2024

• Allowing people to save their progress through a form and return later on
• More detailed metrics about a form’s performance and an integrated way to get feedback from people who fill in a form
• Previews of what each question will look like as you’re adding them to your form
• A history of previous versions of a form, and the ability to revert back to them
• Customisable branding so you can change the way forms look

Further in the future

• Opening up use of GOV.UK Forms to the wider public sector
• Question templates so you can add common questions to a form even faster
• Taking payments via API - so you can collect payments part way through the journey through a form
• Form components in Welsh so you can make a Welsh language form

There are many other features and iterations we know will be useful. We’ll update this page when we know when we’re likely to work on them.
