Control Panel & Admin

Form groups, defaults, stencils, translations, and multi-site workflows.

Form Groups and Defaults at Scale

When a project grows past a handful of forms, the control panel gets noisy and new forms drift from your standards. Form groups organise the forms index, enforce policies, and layer group-level defaults on top of global Formie settings — without changing how forms render on the front end.

Import and Export Between Environments

Form import and export moves form definitions between environments — not submission data. Use it when staging a new form for production, cloning a client's enquiry form to another project, or backing up structure before a major edit.

Stencils for Repeatable Form Types

Stencils are reusable starter forms — layout, notifications, integrations, and settings included. They help teams spin up consistent enquiry, application, or survey forms without rebuilding the same field tree every time. This walkthrough builds a stencil, wires synced fields, and deploys it across environments.

Translating Forms Across Craft Sites

You can use the same contact form on English and French sites, with labels and messages in each language. Formie shares the field layout across sites and lets you change the wording for each one. This walkthrough creates the English defaults, adds French translations in the form builder and checks what visitors see.
