I assume that you were talking about legacy forms and not the new style forms.You can have form rules to hide tabs and hide sections based on the checkbox. Then you can have a Forum rule that says
when the record is saved, change [my checkbox field] to unchecked.
The checks box field could be set with a default value of being checked so that when you were creating a new record most of the form would be hidden.
You can Probably do something similar on new forms but I just haven't used them enough to offer advice.

Hi Mark!
It would be with the new forms. I currently have a button on a report that ideally, when clicked, it would only show that specific section of the form.
I was thinking if I altered the formula of the button to essentially say when clicked, go check this box. Then in the form rules I could say what you mentioned above. I didn't even think that I could put into the form rules to uncheck from there.
Not sure if that logic is sound and would work or if this isn't possible.

If new forms support a form rule that says when the record is saved, change a checkbox field to unchecked, then i could help you write a button which would edit the record, uncheck the box and then display the record in edit mode.

It does look like I can add that to the form rules.
