How to set a closing date for my form
Since you already know how to access the Scheduling settings, let's focus on enabling the "Set closing date." Once you're in the Scheduling tab, simply turn on the "Set closing date" toggle in the Closing Date area. This action will provide you with various options to specify the exact closing time and customize the warning page accordingly:
1. Easily select an unpublishing date and time:

2. Customize the redirect button and add a custom URL:

That's it, do not forget to press the Save button, and your closing date and time are now set up, so you're all ready to go!
Currently, you can only manually set up the specific dates and times when your form will be published and unpublished. Each time you need to open or close the form, you'll have to adjust these settings individually. Unfortunately, we cannot provide automatic updates based on regular schedules such as daily, weekly, monthly, etc., at this time.
