Save a custom item or layout for reuse
Forms gives you the option to create custom items or layouts that you can save in your form without having to save the entire design as a template. You can save an item you have created from scratch or reused from a specific template, for example, a button, a spacer, or any reusable form item or layout.
After you have added items to your form, you can create a custom item or layout in the form editor, and then use or delete it later.
