Hi Noah! Did you get confirmation about Captcha on Studio Forms? I thought I saw you post about it in the Partner FB group, confirming it’s a built in feature? A lot of folks asking about it here in the forum…

We are wondering the same thing. There is no built in captcha input to add to a form. I would like to know if this is something that can be enabled before I invest a lot of time in trying to build something custom.

Yes, so there _is_ the “built-in” captcha feature, meaning you don’t have to “add it” manually to the form. From @noahlovell via the Wix Partner FB Group:

> “The forms on Wix Studio come with spam detection out of the box. If a potential bot is detected, Captcha is prompted”.

\*(I haven’t observed this myself _yet_, in action on a live site, but apparently it is a built-in feature. If so, I’m kind of happy about that, as I sometimes find adding the physical captcha element to a form disrupts my design.)

**A Work Around to Access the Old Version of Forms:**  
However, there is a known workaround. If you prefer to add the visible captcha element to a form in Wix Studio, add the “Online Order Form” which is the older version of Wix Forms (where you can manually add captcha).

From Inside the Wix Studio Editor:

1. Go to **+ Add Element**
2. Select the **Contact & Forms** tab
3. Select the **Order Form** category
4. Add the **Online Order Form** to the page
5. Click **Add New Field** to find the Captcha Element under **Anti-Spam**

Hope that helps!
