# Creating Anonymous Forms

**Forms** are a powerful feature designed to simplify capturing user-inputted data, all from Slack. By leveraging Forms, you can capture feedback, signups, internal surveys, and so much more, all without ever opening a new tab, or tool.

In some scenarios, you may want to send a form to your users or channels and allow the responses to be anonymous and confidential.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Navigate to the Threadly app

In Slack, open the Threadly app and open the Forms section of the app.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### From the form options dropdown at the top of the screen, click "Form Settings"

{% step %}

#### Click "Edit" next to "Anonymous Submissions"

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Click Yes, then hit Save

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

When anonymous submissions are enabled, Threadly protects user privacy by replacing their name with an anonymous ID. <mark style="color:red;">**This randomized ID prevents anyone from identifying the user. This includes owners, workspace admins, Slack administrators, and the Threadly team.**</mark>

{% hint style="info" %}
When anonymous submissions are enabled, the following settings are also unavailable for the form:

* Limit submissions per user
* Limit to specific users
* Save responses to user profile
  {% endhint %}
