For respondents
This is the half of Pocper your clients see. Whether someone just sent you a link, or you're the sender wanting to know exactly what you're sending people into, this article walks through the respondent experience from first click to submission.
1 · Opening the link
There's nothing to install and no account to create. A Pocper link opens in the browser, on any device. A shared template link lands on a cover page first: the document's title, a Start button, and — only if the sender required them — a name or email field to fill in before you begin.
Pressing Start creates your own copy of the document with its own private URL. That URL is yours: close the tab, come back tomorrow, and your progress is waiting. If a link won't open, it has expired or been disabled by the sender — copies already created keep working, but you'll need a fresh link to start a new one.
2 · Filling it in
A Pocper form doesn't look like a form builder's wall of fields. It reads like a document — headings, paragraphs, sometimes images — with the blanks embedded exactly where they belong. You fill in the blanks: short answers, longer text areas, checkboxes, date and time pickers, file uploads, even a signature drawn with your finger or mouse.
It works the same on a phone as on a laptop, and the interface around the document — buttons, prompts, confirmations — follows your browser's language automatically.
3 · Nothing to save
There is no Save button because there's nothing to save — every answer is stored the moment you type it. Close the tab mid-sentence and reopen the same link tomorrow; the half-typed sentence is still there.
Continuous saving also means the other side is live: the team that sent the document can watch answers arrive as they're written, not just after you submit. Worth knowing if you're filling something in during a call — the person on the other end may already be looking at it.
4 · Submitting — or cancelling
When you're done, press Submit at the bottom. Pocper first verifies that everything you entered has safely reached the server, then marks the document submitted, notifies the sender, and shows you a thank-you screen. Nothing inside the form is force-required — you decide when it's done.
Not going to fill it in after all? The ⋯ menu next to Submit has a Cancel form option. You'll be asked to confirm; cancelling voids the form and notifies the sender — and only the sender can undo it.
5 · When you can't edit
If every field is grayed out, the document has been locked by the sender's team — usually because it's already been processed. Everything stays readable; it just can't be changed anymore.
And some documents aren't submit-style forms at all. An Agreement, for example, has no Submit button — you fill in your parts, and the sender's team confirms and locks it from their side once everything checks out.

Curious what the other side looks like? Sharing and inviting shows how these links get created, gated, and tracked by the sender.
