Import or Export a Gravity Forms Form

Import a form

  1. Go to Forms → Import/Export → Import Forms.
  2. Choose the JSON file exported from Gravity Forms.
  3. Run the import and read any warnings.
  4. Open the imported form and check field types, conditional logic, notifications, confirmations and add-on settings.
  5. Save and submit test entries before using it operationally.

Important compatibility note

Gravity Forms form imports use the JSON format generated by Gravity Forms. A WordPress page export (WXR/XML) is a different format and cannot be imported as a Gravity Forms form. Signature fields and add-on features may require the same add-on to be installed and active on the destination site.

Safe deployment

Do not import over a live operational form without reviewing the result. Keep a copy of the existing form export, and avoid changing field IDs or notification recipients without testing dependent workflows.
