How to install a demo form?

How to install demo forms in ChronoForms v8.

Overview

The issue occurs when using an outdated version of the extension, which lacks the demo forms button in the forms manager.
Update ChronoForms to version 8.0.19 or later by installing over the existing installation or using the Joomla extensions updater.

Hi. I have downloaded and installed the latest CF8 extension version 8.0.20, module (nov. 23), and plugin (nov. 23).  

I tried everything to install the demo forms.  "New" form, "Extend", "Restore."

Am I missing something?

Prior versions (cf5 and CF6) would include the Demo Forms in the list of forms.

Any help is appreciated.

The demo forms button should be in the forms manager as shown here:

You do not have it ?

Oops.  My bad.

I had version 8.0.18 installed in Jan. 2024.

I will try to install the latest version on top of, or as a new install.

Thanks

great, if you want to keep your forms then just install over your existing install or use the Joomla extensions updater
