Once providers have created and shared an Admission packet, they can always be edited.
ℹ️ Any updates to forms in a packet, the packet name, or welcome message - affects all shared packets, including those that have already been submitted. We recommend duplicating a packet if changes are necessary.

Providers can disable a packet to prevent additional submissions and reopen it anytime to begin accepting submissions again.
Providers can also disable link sharing if you've shared a packet via a URL with families. This blocks access to the form via the URL while still allowing families with direct invites to complete the packet. This is useful if you've shared the link on your website or via brightwheel messaging and no longer wish for families to make submissions.
