# Download and Upload Form Configurations

This feature enables the transfer of form configurations between applications, allowing you to create and test forms before deploying them on your production system. It supports various form types, including include, standalone, and multi-instance standalone forms.

When importing a form with the same identifier, it will automatically update the existing configuration with the matching identifier.

Important Updating a form will result in the deletion of any data stored within it.  
  
Modifying forms or form fields while users are actively working in ACE or during the execution of jobs, loaders, or reports can potentially disrupt your system's stability. It is advised to carry out form updates only outside of active production time frames.
