# Update existing items on Monday with a form

> Create forms that update existing items from Monday, and pre-fills fields with data from your Monday columns.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Switch your form to update mode">
    Open your [Monday-connected form](https://www.fillout.com/help/monday). Click `Integrate` on the top menu followed by `Monday`.

    Then, click `Update item`.

    You’ll now get a formula that defines a **unique link** for every record in your table.

    <Warning>
      Attachments only sync when creating new items, not when updating items.
    </Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Paste the provided formula">
    Go to your Monday table and click <Icon icon="plus-large" size={14} /> on the rightmost side to add an `Item ID column`. Add another column for the `Formula` where you'll paste the formula provided on the Fillout page. Click `Set formula` after.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish and share">
    That's it! Click `Update` on the upper right corner followed by `Publish`.

    To update a record, click `Preview` and select a **Record to update** or click one of the unique links from your Monday column.

    Your form is **automatically pre-filled** for whichever record it is updating.

    <Note>
      If you don’t provide an **id** in the unique URL, the form will create a new record instead.
    </Note>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Use a custom link to update an item

By default, items get updated by their unique ID. By toggling the `Custom link` switch, you will be able to choose another way to update your columns on Monday with [URL parameters](/url-parameters) (e.g., email input).
