Another option is to leave the form in the frame. If no URL parameter is specified, the form will automatically resize based on the device it is viewed on. If the web designer wants the form to always be full-width, they can specify _device=desktop in the share embed URL. The web site designer might have a mobile web site where tablet and phone users would access the forms where the share URL would leave off the "_device=" parameter. www.frevvo.com is an example of forms embedded into a website that look great on all devices.
Data loss is possible if users filling in a lot of data in a long forms/workflows close the browser or tab without saving or submitting. If the Unsaved Changes Warning feature is configured, users will be warned of this situation before the data loss. This applies to use-mode forms and workflows only, not edit mode. The warning only shows if there have been changes made to the form/workflow. If there are no changes, then no warning is displayed. If the form/workflow is Saved or the Save on Navigate feature is configured for a workflow, then changes are saved and the warning is not produced on any attempt to close the browser.
The unsaved changes warning feature is not supported on iOS Safari and only partially supported on Chrome Android. You may notice some inconsistencies with workflows. Refer to the Unsaved Changes topic for the details.
This feature is not configured in the frevvo Cloud. In-house customers can turn on the Unsaved Changes Warning feature with the frevvo.unsaved.warning property.

To turn off the unsaved warning feature for a particular form/workflow instance, add the _unsavedWarning=true/false URL parameter to the Share URL. Remember to add the ? at the end of the URL if this is the first URL parameter you are adding and the & at the end of the URL if there are other URL parameters already appended to the URL.
Designers may want to do this when developing/testing forms/workflow.
