  • Draft means that the form is still in progress. Perhaps you’ve started filling the form out, but have not yet finished it. Or maybe different sections of the form need to be filled out by different people, and the form is somewhere in the middle of that workflow.

  • Completed means that the form is done. No additional edits are required, and the form can be stored for your records and used for data extraction.
