You can test the Edit Entry feature from editing entry page.

How to Edit WPForms Entries in Frontend
–Once you have added an ‘Edit Entry’ link in your view then open the view in the frontend.
–Now click on the edit entry link and it will automatically redirect you to the page where you have your form ( the link you added under Edit Entry tab in backend ).
