All You Need to Know About Gravity Forms 2.6

Gravity Forms 2.6 shipped in March this year and is packed with new and improved features that make a significant difference to the form editor experience. We are now calling on all our customers to install 2.6(.5) if you are still yet to do so!

2.6 features include:

• Embed Form Flyout – The Embed Form flyout utilizes the WordPress Block editor, enabling you to add a form to a page or post from directly within the Form editor.

• Inline Submit Button – With Gravity Forms 2.6 you will now find the Submit Button and its settings relocated to the form editor. Easily set your Submit button to be inline with the last row of fields, without having to rely on CSS Ready Classes.

• Choices Flyout – Gravity Forms 2.6 ships with an expandable Choices flyout that is responsive to page width. This gives you all the space you need to create, edit, and manage your Choices’ options within the form editor.

• Ajax Form Saving – With 2.6, the form editor will save any form changes using Ajax. This will give you a faster and smoother experience when making updates, saving your form edits automatically without the need for a full page refresh.

• Merge Tag Search – An improved merge tag UI sees search functionality added in, enabling you to easily search for the merge tags you need.
