We’re building a user submitted professional profile form with multiple input fields. We’d like users to be able to see a preview of their profile prior to submitting, so they can return to the form if they want to edit it. We have the basic form set up in Wix forms that feeds to a dataset & displays on a dynamic page with a repeater connected to the data set. Currently there is a submit button but we’d like to add a middle step where they can preview and then go back and edit.
Thanks!
Just to clear this part up…
We have the basic form set up in Wix forms that feeds to a dataset…
Are you saying that you have created a form through Wix Forms app, which actually uses submissions table?

Or have you made up your own user input form and connected it to dataset on your page?

Also, if you want members to have their own profile pages that can be edited or altered etc, then you can see an already made up example here.

This uses dynamic pages which are connected by the user Id in the url, so only that specific user can see their own profile pages.
The first dynamic page will display their data, which is all read only and can’t be changed, along with a button that links the user to the edit page.
The second dynamic page is where the user can add, change or delete anything from that page and when they click on save, it will save any changes etc to that dataset and it will be reflected on the first page.
You can make the profile page tutorial be whatever you want, you don’t have to keep it as it is.
Thanks for all the info. We have made our own user input form to gather data, connected to a data set. But I’ve been doing more research, including your links and may start again using the members area/profile. I’m assuming we can alter the member profile page to include any fields we want?
The profile page included in the Wix Members app itself you can’t change.
However, you can change the Members Profile tutorial…

… to have whatever user inputs you wish to have on there, just make sure that both pages have the same user inputs so that they can be edited etc by the user.
When I have used that tutorial I would always put it as seperate pages on my site and not include the two dynamic pages within the the Wix Members app itself.
hi thanks for amazing explanation, how can i add “a button that links the user to the edit page” in the dynamic pages?
you mentioned this at the end
