OurForms may adjust which types each plan includes. If your plan stops including a type you already use, your existing questions stay — nothing is deleted — but the form can't be published again until you change them.
Checking answers
Required questions say "This one's required." if left empty, and emails are checked as visitors type. Every answer is checked again by OurForms when it arrives, so a visitor can't get around a rule by tampering with the page.
Files are checked by their contents, not their name — a file named photo.png that isn't really an image is refused.
