# weForms Tools

The tools provided with weForms include the option to export the forms you create, export the submissions for each form, import forms, and display error logs. We describe each of these options in the tutorial below.

In this article:

- [Using the Export Tool](#exporting)
- [Using the Import Tool](#importing)
- [Accessing the Error Log](#logs)

## Exporting

weForms includes two export options: exporting forms and exporting form submissions. To access these options, you will need to be [logged in the WordPress Administrator Dashboard](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/wordpress/logging-into-wordpress-dashboard/). Click on the weForms option in the menu and then click on the **Tools**. The screenshot below shows the first tab for weForms tools: **Export**.

- **Export Forms** – Select to export all forms or select specific forms. Click on the **Export Forms** button to complete the action.
- **Export Form Entries** – To export form entries you start by selecting a form, then click on the **Export Entries** button to complete the action.

You can also download [PDF versions of Form Submissions](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/product-guides/weforms/pdf-form-submissions-in-weforms/) in weForms.

## Importing

weForms allows you to import forms that you may have saved in a backup. You can also import forms from different applications. These applications include:

- Contact Form 7
- Ninja Forms
- Caldera Forms
- Gravity Forms
- WP Forms

The screenshot below shows the options in the **Import** tab.

- **Import Contact Form** – To import a saved contact form, click on **Browse** to locate your file, then click on the **Import** button.
- **Import Other Forms** – To import a form from another form plugin, click on the **Import** button for the plugin that you have previously used.

## Logs

The last tab in the weForms tool is **Logs**. If you have any problems while using the plugin, then it is logged. To access this log you would need to click on **Log** tab in **weForms Tools**. This would help troubleshoot any possible issues.

You are now familiar with the Tools that weForms provides. You can export forms or form submissions, import saved forms or forms from different plugins, and view an error log if one is generated.
