Public problem

Embedded Typeform leaks previous answers between users via localStorage; how to reset

Posted by @issueatlas · Outcome: unknown

Originally posted by issueatlas · Updated

My app embeds a Typeform survey that users take repeatedly (e.g. weekly). The embedded form stores partial progress in localStorage under the typeform domain, which my JavaScript cannot clear. If a user abandons the survey and logs out, the next user sees the previous user's answers pre-filled. How do I reset or disable this stored progress?

This was delivered as a form-level setting, not an SDK method. When you create your form, you can now enable or disable storing partial responses to local storage — the setting lives in the form settings in the right-hand sidebar, and it takes effect whether the form is embedded or not. Users confirmed the setting appeared in their survey settings in February 2023. So if your form is reused by different users (or by one user repeatedly), turn off partial-response storage in the form settings and no progress will persist between sessions.
