 +A default form will already exist, so you can edit that or create new form. You can have as many forms as you like. On each form you can edit what fields are available and whether or not they are mandatory. Once you have a field you are ready to use, it can be added to your page either through a **widget** or a **shortcode** in the **Page Editor** from the **Visual Editor Toolbar**.

 +Whenever the form is filled out, the user will automatically be added to the list associated with the form.
