Section forms into pages
Divide a long form into multiple pages in the form builder by inserting a page break where you want to create a split. Duplicate a page with all the questions and reuse them again in the same form with a quick shortcut, saving time and effort.
Navigate with ease
Help respondents zip through your form with page navigation buttons and a status bar to view their progress. Seamless navigation and page numbers let respondents quickly refer to previous pages or jump ahead to scout later pages without getting confused.
Skip irrelevant questions
Set intelligent rules to skip unnecessary pages based on respondent answers to the preceding questions in your online form maker. Save respondents the pain of reading and filling out sections that are irrelevant to them.
Customize your pages
Tailor the page navigation bar's appearance to your liking and add clear page titles and numbers for your respondents to follow. Change the navigation button's label, color, and shape to fit your theme while guiding respondents towards the finish line.

Frequently Asked Questions
A multi-step form is a form that is split into multiple screens or sections instead of showing all fields at once. Instead of overwhelming users with a long form, it guides them step-by-step. Each step collects related information, improving clarity and reducing form fatigue.
Single page forms have all fields on one screen. It is best for short forms with 2–6 fields
In multi-page forms, fields are divided into multiple sections (steps). This makes them less overwhelming with higher completion rates.
