How to stop your browser from saving (caching) previous answers

If a form opens with answers you already typed, that is the "remember last input" feature: the browser saves in-progress answers so nothing is lost if the tab closes. To clear the saved answers for a form, open it with ?force_reload=true added to the URL.

Why answers are saved in the browser

We store previously filled answers in the visitor's browser so the form is prefilled when it is opened again, for example after the tab is accidentally closed. The saved answers are kept per form and expire after 15 days.

This usually helps, but it can feel like a caching problem when you are testing your form and filling it repeatedly without submitting. The form then opens prefilled with answers you did not save anywhere on purpose.

Clear saved answers with force_reload=true

Appending the force reload parameter wipes all previously filled answers for that form from the browser, so it starts fresh:

1. Copy your form's link, for example https://app.youform.com/forms/xrjcjyti.

2. Add ?force_reload=true to the end, like this: https://app.youform.com/forms/xrjcjyti?force_reload=true.

3. Open the new link. The saved answers for that form are cleared and the form starts empty.

The parameter only clears saved answers in that browser for that one form: it does not delete your submitted responses or change other forms. If you don't want a specific browser to keep answers, share and open the form with the parameter included.
