Tab Title Incorrect

I typically duplicate the same Typeform for each new one I create and make the necessary edits. This one shows my correct title everywhere except the tab name - so when guests click the link to the first Typeform the tab says the name of a different one. This is the first time this has happened - anyone know how to solve it?

Hi ! When I follow the ‘customize link’ link as per above, I do not get to the same page as what is shown in the video - the meta info is missing, and it shows me just a field for directly changing the link.

Hi @RyanC Do you mind sharing a screenshot of what you’re looking at? Thanks!

thanks for your help @Liz  I’ve included the popup window when I click ‘customize link’ and the form screen , where the name of the form is Cohort 4 Application  - however if you go to it live on our site, the tab opens as Cohort 3 Application.

Ah got it, thanks @RyanC ! Is the form embedded on your website? If so, could you try copy/pasting the embed code? 

If you’re referring to the name of the tab itself, you most likely need to change this in the meta settings.

Hi @Liz - appreciate your continued efforts - no, the form is not embedded on the site - we use the link provided by Typeform through a button on our site.

​@Liz is there a way to fix this issue on a free plan?

Hi ​@oak Thanks for stopping by the community! The option to adjust the meta settings isn’t a feature of our Free plan, so you would need to upgrade to a paid plan for this.

That’s disappointing! Thanks for the response though. Just to reiterate, on a free plan I’ll have to make an entirely new survey and make sure that I don’t want to change the title of it in the future or let the old title show in the browser tab?

Hi ​@oak Sadly, yes, if you don’t upgrade to a paid plan, you won’t be able to change the meta settings, which includes the browser tab and preview information when sharing the link.
