I like to create a workaround for a need to quickly add any entity wherever I am in Fibery, which currently is not provided out of the box. I thought of creating a new database ‘forms’ with etities that have a form embedded. I did not manage to make that work. The other option is to have a browser bookmark folder (or a document) with all the links to entity forms. The issue is that I don’t want these to be public. Ideally I like to have links for each of the ‘preview’ version of a form. These however don’t have their own URL. Any suggestions? Thanks! ---

If Form views displayed “Preview” mode when opened (i.e. ready to create a new entity) instead of “Edit” mode, then it would simply work to bookmark the URL of a Form view. For a non-Creator/Admin user this is already how it works, but it should be this way for all users. Mouse-avoiders: hit `TAB` five times in a new Form view to move keyboard focus to the Button that switches Edit/Preview mode. ---

The quickest way to create an entity is probably to use Ctrl-k to bring up search, type the name for the new item, and choose the type of entity to be created. ---

And the quickest way to create a new entity using an existing **Form** would be to use `Ctrl-K` to bring up search, type the name of the form, and if you’re Admin/Creator use the mouse (or `Tab` x 5) to change the form to Preview mode. (Or bookmark the Form) ---

Semi-related to this discussion: Is there a way to embed a form into another document? That would allow (together with the new columns layout) a page with some basic forms. It also allows us to provide more elaboration around a form. ---

Looking at [Drupal.org](http://Drupal.org) and their [forms module](https://www.drupal.org/project/webform), this eventually became a fieldable entity type, therefore forms are similar to Fibery database entities. This would allow much more interactive configurations.
