INTRODUCTION
------------

The Webform module is a form builder and submission manager for Drupal 8.

 * The primary use case for this module is to:

  - **Build** a new webform or duplicate an existing template
  - **Publish** the webform as a page, node, or block
  - **Collect** submissions
  - **Send** confirmations and notifications
  - **Review** submissions online
  - **Download** submissions as a CSV

 * Goals:

  - A comprehensive form and survey building solution for Drupal 8.
  - A stable, maintainable, and tested API for building forms and handling submission.
  - A pluggable/extensible API for custom form elements and submission handling.

INSTALLATION
------------

The installation of this module is like other Drupal modules.

 1. Copy/upload the webform module to the modules directory of your Drupal
   installation.

 2. Enable the 'Webform' module and desired sub-modules in 'Extend'.
   (/admin/modules)

 3. Set up user permissions. (/admin/people/permissions#module-webform)


RECOMMENDED MODULES
-------------------

 * Third party libraries (/admin/help/webform)
 * Add-on contrib modules (/admin/structure/webform/addons)

CONFIGURATION
-------------

 * Build a new webform (/admin/structure/webform)
   or duplicate an existing template (/admin/structure/webform/templates).

 * Publish your webform as a:

   - **Page** by linking to the published webform. (/webform/contact)

   - **Node** by creating a new node that references the webform. (/node/add/webform)

   - **Block** by placing a Webform block on your site. (/admin/structure/block)


UPGRADING
---------

 * All existing configuration and submission data was maintained and updated
   through the beta and rc release cycles.
   **APIs have changed** during these release cycles.

 * Simply put, if you installed and used the Webform module out of the box AS-IS,
   and now you want to upgrade to a full release, then
   you _should_ be okay. If you extended webforms with plugins, altered
   hooks, and overrode templates, you will need to read each release's
   notes and assume that _things have changed_.
