OutSystems Platform 9 introduces the new Form widget to gather user input, which replaces the previously used Edit Record widget. The document provides an overview of the differences between Forms and Edit Records, including how Forms are free-form and implemented as a DIV while Edit Records are table-based. It also describes how attributes and entities can be dragged and dropped to generate corresponding input and label widgets in Forms or text input widgets in Edit Records.
