The following actions are available for managing the Signup Forms:

• Preview – Renders the preview of the Signup Form. 
• HTML Code – Shows the HTML code of the Signup Form.
• Edit Form – Opens the Signup Form in edit mode.
• Delete Form – Deletes the Signup Form permanently.

Creating a Signup Form

Perform the following steps to create a new Signup Form:

1. On the Signup Forms index page, click the New Signup Form (Legacy) button.
2. In Step 1 (Create Signup Form) of the Signup Form builder, you enter the form details and specify the setting preferences.
   📋 Note: When enabling reCAPTCHA, you are required to enter the Site Key and Secret Key. You must first create a reCAPTCHA on the Google reCAPTCHA home page that generates the keys. You can then copy the keys into the corresponding fields on the Signup Form builder. To learn more, see ReCAPTCHA in Signup Forms.
   Also, note that the reCAPTCHA won't be visible in the form preview. You must embed the form on your website to see it.
   
3. Click Next.
