### ⚠️ Important Notes

#### 🔁 Form IDs Change in New Stores

When you import a form into a different Shopify store, the form will receive a **new Form ID**.\
This means:

* Any old embed codes will no longer work
* You must copy & use the **new Form ID** when embedding the form
* Replace old shortcodes, app blocks, and custom code references

This prevents ID conflicts and ensures forms work correctly on the new store.

***

#### 🔐 Form content only (no submissions)

Importing a form brings over form structure, layout, fields, settings, but does NOT import past submissions.

***

#### 🎨 Theme settings (App Blocks) not included

If you used app blocks or theme customizations on the old store, you’ll need to re-add the form to templates/pages in the new store.
