# 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.

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:&#x20;

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