Unpublish a HubSpot form

Unpublish a HubSpot form to stop collecting submissions without deleting the form. When you unpublish a form, visitors can no longer submit it, but your existing submissions and analytics remain available.

This is useful if you want to hide a form, turn off submissions, or remove a form from your website without losing data. For example, you can unpublish an event registration form when the event ends to prevent new signups while keeping existing responses for reporting.

Unpublished forms can be republished at any time.

Understand what happens when you unpublish a form

• The form’s publish status is set to Draft.
• Visitors can no longer submit the form.
• Share links and embedded forms are replaced with the message: This form is no longer accepting submissions. Thank you for your interest.
  
• The form's simple workflows are automatically turned off. 
• Existing form analytics and submission data are not affected.

Unpublish a form

If your form is used on HubSpot-hosted pages, CTAs, or active workflows, you’ll need to remove the form from those assets before the form can be unpublished. Forms used in inactive workflows can be unpublished without removing them.

To unpublish a form:

1. In your HubSpot account, click More, then navigate to Marketing > Forms. If More doesn't appear in your account, navigate to Marketing > Forms directly.

2. Hover over a published form and click Edit.
   • Updated form editor: in the top right, click the Review and update dropdown menu and select Unpublish.

• • Legacy form editor: in the top right, click Actions and select Unpublish.

3. In the dialog box, click Unpublish form.

Republish a form

1. In your HubSpot account, click More, then navigate to Marketing > Forms. If More doesn't appear in your account, navigate to Marketing > Forms directly.
2. Hover over an existing form and click Edit.
   • Form editor: in the top right, click the Review and update. In the right panel, click Update
   • Legacy form editor: in the top right, click Update. In the right panel, click Publish.

Check a form’s publish status

1. In your HubSpot account, click More, then navigate to Marketing > Forms. If More doesn't appear in your account, navigate to Marketing > Forms directly.
   
2. On the All forms tab, review the following columns:
   • Publish Status: displays Published when a form is active and Draft when a form is unpublished.
   • Last Updated by: displays the name of the user who most recently edited, saved, or unpublished the form. If your form was suspended, the form will display Updated by System.

Please note: if your form content has been found to be in violation of HubSpot's Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Policy, the form may be suspended and automatically unpublished. Once the violation is corrected, you can publish your form. Learn more about HubSpot's content moderation policies.
