Pro-Tip!
Whenever you make changes to a web form (or any other item) in a published automation, you need to re-publish the automation for your changes to go into effect. Web forms are responsive. This means that the web form will automatically scale to fit both desktop and mobile devices.
Note: Web forms published prior to February 26, 2020 are not responsive. They would need to be replaced with a new web form to become responsive (this is called the Advanced Automation Builder.)
Web forms embedded via HTML need to be republished in the Advanced Automation Builder and the embed code on your site needs to be updated. Web forms embedded via Javascript simply need to be republished in the Advanced Automation Builder and will update automatically.
