Scope of form changes
Depending on what is being edited you will have the ability to save the text change the scope to be at Page/Form/Global level using the drop down to the right of the text editor. Global - If the scope is saved as global then this text is shared across all forms. Global scope is only available where the editing is taking place on a page that is a shared across forms. The shared pages are as follows:
Launch
Who Are You
Save for Later
Declaration
Submitted
The benefit of saving something globally is that you can ensure consistency across many forms. Say for example you have 100 forms and you want the help text on email address to be the same. Saving this change globally means all 100 forms are updated instantly. However, please be careful when using Global as you could affect other department's forms without their knowing if you make a change globally. So always save content to page unless you know you specifically want to save something across all forms. Form - If you only want to change the text for this particular form then change the scope to Form. The only real use case of this is the title of a form. I.e. if you want to change the name of a form, you will want to change it for every page and so you would select form. Page - If you only want to change the text for this field on this particular page then change the scope to Page. This is what you should use all of the time unless you specifically know you want to save something to more than the place you're doing the change.
