# Overview

A form you have built in **Powerful Contact Form Builder** does not appear on your storefront on its own. This section covers everything that puts it there: the one-time theme setup, the **Publish** window, and the app block.

## ✅ Before Anything Else

<table><thead><tr><th width="198.39996337890625">Requirement</th><th>What It Means</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>1. App embed is ON</strong></td><td>One-time switch in your theme's <strong>App embeds</strong> panel.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>2. Form is placed somewhere</strong></td><td>Either <strong>Publish</strong> does it for you, or you paste the form's short code into the app's <strong>Form</strong> block yourself.</td></tr></tbody></table>

> **💡 Tip:** The **Publish** window handles both steps for you — start there if you're placing a form for the first time.
