Can I download an editable form so that I can continue to edit it from my computer?
No. The new CREA WEBForms® is a paperless online solution. There is not a way to download an editable version of the form. Once the form is downloaded you cannot modify the text, but you can still send it to your e-signature provider.
When a form is automatically updated in my template, will my clauses appear in the updated form?
When a form is updated, a new form is added replacing the old form. Clauses do not migrate over to the new updated form. A message will display when a form has been disabled.
How do I use the new WEBForms® on mobile devices? How do I link my mobile devices?
CREA WEBForms® is responsive in design, which means that it can be used across all devices, including PCs, laptops, tablets, and phones.

Why are some of the forms different in the new WEBForms®
Any prefilled data within forms that are attached to a template will NOT migrate over and will need to be re-entered. Users will need to verify and update any clauses that had been included within their templates.
How do I create clauses?
Both Clauses and Transaction Templates are now accessed by clicking the Setup icon in the Sidebar.

Why can’t forms and documents be sent to e-signature provider at the same time
Based on the feedback we have already received; we are currently working on a solution around sending both documents and forms to your e-signature provider at the same time.
How do you create a transaction without an MLS® number?
