# Glossary

## Form

An administrator-authored questionnaire with an open or closed state and optional
Discord role restrictions.

## Question

An ordered prompt within a form. Its answer shape is text, long text, one choice, or
multiple choices.

## Local draft

Unsubmitted or in-progress answers stored in the current browser for one form. A local
draft is device-specific and is not authoritative.

## Submission

The server-saved answer set for one form and one Discord account. A person can have at
most one submission per form.

## Update

A replacement of the answer values in an existing submission. The previous values are
retained in edit history.

## Other answer

Free text associated with an explicit “Other” choice. Selecting “Other” requires
non-empty text, even when the overall question is optional.

## Closed form

A form that no longer accepts new submissions or updates. A person with an existing
submission may still read or delete it.
