Unpublish form

HappyChicken

I would like to see the option to unpublish a form and or to set a limit to the submissions. For example I would like to set a limit of 100 submissions due to a webinar subscription.

Edit: Day 1352 – Still no option to unpublish a form or cap webinar sign-ups. We're considering switching to smoke signals for faster results! 😂

 

Come on, tech wizards, let's make this happen before we're sending messages via carrier pigeons!

Hi everyone,

 

I'd like to thank you all for taking the time to submit, vote and comment on this Idea.

My name is Jenny and I'm the new Product Manager of the Forms & CTA tool. 

I'm happy to report that this Idea is now In Development! This means that our engineers are actively building this feature as we speak.

 

The product development process is always filled with unexpected bumps and hurdles, so I can't give a timeline, but I am confident in saying we'll deliver this feature as soon as possible (currently planned for Q1).

All updates will be relayed on this thread, so stay tuned!

 

Thanks

Jenny Mueller

Migrated from legacy feedback forum with 56 votes.

 

It would be great to hide or archive forms and emails so we retain he data from those items but do not see them on our active views of forms and emails.

This idea has been in planning for over a year, and I have not seen any movement.  When will it be in production?

We really need this functionality as well. Any update since HubSpot said the feature was in development over a year ago?

When will this be live? I can't believe it's still not possible!

I don't think anyone at HubSpot checks the community forum anymore. Several much-needed features have sat here for years.

Wow, the customer service of replying one year later after stating it was in planning and 5 years after idea surfaced in the community?!

 

We are not currently thinking about renewing our expensive hubspot subscription.

Ok, so let me get this straight... This post from you a year and 3 months ago was just smoke and mirrors?

No one was "actively building" anything?

Ok, got it. 🙈🙉🙊

It seems like HubSpot rolls out features that not many people want or ask for, BUT the features we need just sit in this community forum purgatory.

Ouch, this hurts..

Is there any news on this? Would be very helpful.

Just being able to unpublish a form seems like it should be a basic feature of a form. This is super inconvenient for us since we have to either link it to a landing page and unpublish that, or, delete the form, which is not ideal for archiving purposes.

So it went from planned in 2024 to Not in Planning on April 10, 2025.

Frustrating - this woudl be so useful to keep things tidy.

Echoing @k1m's frustration here (and everyone else's!).

 

It's also not just about managing and maintaining good data hygiene. It's also about the potential duplication of effort and work. The only choice is to completely purge and lose the form, no matter how customised or intricate it is. If you allowed exporting the form data and importing it as a starting point for a new form, at least that would allow offline (or off-HubSpot) storage. 

 

Meanwhile...

this is absolutely needed, and I don't understand why it is not a thing already?

Good News, things must be happening because I was reviewing my pop-up forms because are going to be shuttered and when I right clicked on Actions, it had the option to unpublish! The other form types did not.

Hi @MCastorina717, I just tested it and unfortunately the option is not yet available for me. Not even when I create a new form.

Hi there,
as I just realized this highly requested feature with over 600 upvotes again - I was wondering if it's really still not planned, that Forms can simply be deactivated/unpublished?
That would be really logical and useful feature... 

Also regarding the limitation of form submissions would be really useful - thinking of Event registrations. We just had such a use case as well. 

Thank you & BR,
Constantin

Title: Frustration with Long-Standing Idea & Constant Upsell Walls

I’ve been a HubSpot user for a while and one of my ongoing frustrations is the lack of action on long-standing feature requests. This topic of unpublish a form has been open for over 5 years with many users providing feedback on how valuable it would be — yet nothing seems to move. It really makes me wonder: how much does HubSpot actually listen to its customer base?

 

At the same time, training sessions and day-to-day development within HubSpot can feel discouraging because of the constant upsell walls. Every time you start building something meaningful, you hit the message: “You can’t do that unless you have Sales/Service/Content/Marketing/Operations Hub.”

 

Don’t get me wrong — HubSpot is a good CRM and has strong capabilities. But when you’re actively trying to train your team or optimize processes and keep running into feature blocks, it’s frustrating. Honestly, I don’t know which is worse — HubSpot upsells or WordPress theme upsells.

 

Would love to hear from the community (and HubSpot itself):

  • Do you feel customer feedback really gets prioritized?

  • How do you manage the balance between using the CRM effectively and constantly bumping into “that’s an upgrade” messaging?

Imagine a company’s frustration with not having an Unpublish feature when we actually pay for the advanced packages at a cost of 10’s of $1,000’s per year for the past 6 years.
