# Turn Grab Mode On and Off

**Applies to:** Lasernet Core 11 and 10 (not Lasernet Essentials / Professional / Advanced)

To generate grab files when a Lasernet Core environment processes a form, you can turn grab mode (for form engines) on through the Form Editor.

This action will turn on grab mode for all form engines that run on the selected Lasernet Core environment.

After Lasernet Core has generated grab files, you can download them and add them to forms. For more information, see [Add Grab Files to a Form](/v1/docs/add-grab-files-to-a-form).
