# How to edit an active LinkedIn Lead Gen Form

By HeyMark · Updated November 5, 2026

If you need to correct a Lead Gen Form that your ads already use, first identify the ad format and ad set status. With a campaign manager or account manager role and an active Company Page, you can change only the fields allowed for that case. Saving resubmits the form for review, and associated ads may stop serving while they await approval.

## Check which edits your form allows

In Campaign Manager, open **Content & Assets → Lead generation forms**. Find the form and check the number in the **Associations** column. Hover over it to see the ads, then open an ad name to check its ad set and status. [LinkedIn’s guide to associated ads](https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a424435) explains this check. Editing depends on whether it is linked to an active ad set and on the ad format:

| Situation | Fields you can edit |
| --- | --- |
| Not associated with an ad in an active ad set | All fields except form language. |
| Sponsored Content in an active ad set | Headline, details, privacy policy URL and text, confirmation message, landing page URL, thank-you message call to action, and work email validation. |
| Sponsored Messaging in an active ad set | Work email validation only. |

LinkedIn requires a campaign manager or account manager role. The Company Page must also be active. If you lack either requirement, resolve it before trying to save changes.

## Edit and save the allowed fields

1. In Campaign Manager, open the ad account and go to **Content & Assets → Lead generation forms**. Find the right form and select **More → Edit**.
2. Change only the fields allowed for the status and format you checked. If you are changing the URL shown after submission, LinkedIn calls it the landing page URL in the confirmation section; it must start with `http://` or `https://`.
3. Review the text and URL, then select **Save**. This resubmits the active form for review. LinkedIn warns that associated ads may stop serving until it approves the edit.
4. Reopen the form to check that your field changes were saved, then check its review status. Review the associated ads before treating the edit as ready to use; whether they resume serving depends on approval and their delivery settings.

If the form is integrated with a marketing or CRM platform and is not associated with an active ad set, LinkedIn says you must also review the account, form, and field settings there so new test leads sync. Its documentation says an edit to active Sponsored Content can keep existing third-party partner integrations in place.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I change the thank-you URL on an active form?

If it is associated with active Sponsored Content, the landing page URL is editable. Saving resubmits the form for review, and associated ads may stop serving until it is approved.

### What can I change in active Sponsored Messaging?

Only work email validation. Check the fields allowed for the ad's status and format before making another change.
