Hello @MThomas96,

If you’re referring to the direct links to forms, without them being embedded on a landing page:

- In the legacy form editor, no.
- In the new / standard form editor, yes, see below:

So do I have the right editor to do it?

@MThomas96 yes. Just click one the form once and compare what you’re seeing with my screenshot.

@MThomas96 no, I wasn’t aware you’re specifically asking about the free tools. If you’re not seeing the options as shown in my screenshot, then apparently it’s not possible. Feel free to share a screenshot and I can confirm.
