How To Build Forms Faster with Inline Editing in Tekmatix

Make quick, real-time edits directly inside your form builder — no extra clicks required.

With Tekmatix’s new Inline Editing feature, creating and updating forms, surveys, and quizzes is now faster and more intuitive than ever. Instead of opening multiple settings panels, you can simply click on any text field, label, or option and start typing right inside the live preview.

This update makes your form-building experience seamless, saving time while giving you full control over content and layout in real time.


What is Inline Editing?

Inline Editing allows you to edit text directly inside your form builder preview. That means you can change labels, placeholders, button text, and options instantly — all without opening side panels.

Simply click on the text you want to change, type your edits, and watch them appear live in the preview.

How To Use Inline Editing in Tekmatix

Follow these simple steps to make instant text edits inside your form builder:

Step 1: Open the Form Builder

Go to Websites & Funnels → Forms (or Surveys/Quizzes) and open the builder for the form you want to edit.


Step 2: Click on Any Text Element

Find the text you want to edit — such as field labels, dropdown options, or button text — and click directly on it.


Step 3: Type and See Updates Instantly

Start typing to replace or adjust the text. Your updates will appear immediately in the live preview.


Step 4: Continue Editing Other Elements

Repeat this process for all text elements you’d like to adjust — including multiple-choice answers, placeholders, headers, and call-to-action (CTA) buttons.


Step 5: Save and Publish

Once you’re happy with your changes, click Save to commit your edits and Publish when your form is ready to go live.


What You Can Edit with Inline Editing

Inline Editing supports all key text elements across forms, surveys, and quizzes:

  • Text Fields: Labels and placeholder text

  • Dropdowns: Options and choices

  • Checkboxes & Radio Buttons: Option labels

  • Buttons: Call-to-action (CTA) text

  • Headings & Paragraphs: Editable directly inside the builder


Sample Use Case: Quick Updates for a Webinar Registration Form

Let’s say you’re updating your Webinar Registration Form for an upcoming event.
Before Inline Editing, you’d have to click each field, open the settings panel, and scroll to find the text field.

Now, you can:

  • Click the “Name” label and update it to “Full Name (First & Last)”

  • Click the “Submit” button and change it to “Reserve My Spot”

  • Instantly fix a typo in your paragraph text — all within seconds

In just a few clicks, your form looks polished, on-brand, and ready to convert.
