Hi,
I need to be able to access the default SharePoint forms such as NewForm.aspx, EditForm.aspx etc, as well as being able to manually enter the URL for using the Forms designer form (like fd_Item_NewForm.aspx), but when trying to access NewForm.aspx by typing it in manually, it still redirects to the FD form. This still occurs when I change the default new item form in SharePoint Designer.
How can I stop this behaviour? I need the default SharePoint form to be used unless the URL specifies to use the FD form.

Hello, Chris!
First, simply reset the form to get the default one:

Once you get the message "Default layout has been successfully restored", it is ready.
Do not Save the form, otherwise you'll just get an empty form as a result.

Now, you can add a new form set where you see "+" near Default. Click there and create a new form set:

Design a new form and use the URI at the bottom of the Forms Designer to redirect to this Form.

Now you can access both custom form via URL or default form, the way you usually do.
Cheers
