Sharing forms created with Build

Support
1

If I want to share a form I'm creating in Build with another user...
is there a way to do this? I don't see any option for importing
xforms... or sharing build files, etc.?

It would be great to have a way for multiple users to collaborate on
the same build form.

Hi Matt:

Not at the moment. Just to get a feeling for what you're looking for here, would it suffice to add the ability to save and load .odkbuild native files and email them around, or would it be better if it were something built into the application itself?

Thanks,
—Clint

saving and loading .odkbuild native files would get the job done -
sounds great!

Dear Clint,
adding the tool to load .odkbuild native files will be great. We are
collaborating with others in different countries where the forms need
to be tweaked slightly. would this feature take long to have?

thanks

If you need a temporary workaround you might be able to use Dimagi's
(extremely alpha) FormDesigner[1] to do what you need.

We are actively fixing a number of known issues, but it should work
for import/edit/export of simple forms.

When you open this link click "login as guest user" and it will
redirect you to the form designer.
