Please read the Feature Constraints section before using Incomplete Forms for your project workflows.

Saved Incomplete Forms have the following 2 major structural constraints that you should be aware of.

1. Saved Incomplete Forms are not synced with CommCareHQ and are only stored locally on the mobile device
   
   1. Consequence: If you lose access to your mobile device, say, it breaks or is lost, Incomplete Forms saved on the device will not be recoverable.
   2. Consequence: If you uninstall an application with incomplete forms, Incomplete Forms saved on the device will not be recoverable.
2. Saved Incomplete Forms are not updated when you make updates to your app or the data the incomplete forms rely on

   1. Consequence #1: If a form is saved as incomplete, and certain app updates like changes to the form's structure or changes to the assets used by the form (say, images or audio) are made, it can prevent mobile workers from resuming the incomplete form.

   2. Consequence #2: If a form is saved as incomplete, and then resumed after data (say, case properties) the form relies on has changed, the form will have undefined/unpredictable behavior
