In the Upgrade section, select the Upgrade the form template if it already exists check box if you want to replace an older version of the template with the new version that you are uploading. If you select this check box, select either:
Allow existing browser-based form filling sessions to complete using the current version of the form template Select this option if you want forms that are already open to continue to use the current version of the form template.
Terminate existing browser-based form filling sessions. Any data in those sessions will be lost Select this option if you do not want forms that are already open to continue to use the old version of the form template. Data from open sessions that use the old template will be lost.
If you want to wait until all sessions of the old form template are completed before you upgrade a form template, you need to quiesce the old form template before uploading the new template. You can find more information about quiescing form templates in Quiesce a form template (Office SharePoint Server).
Click Upload.
