Content (7)
Display-only blocks that organize and decorate your form. They don’t collect a response.

Paragraph
Block of body text for instructions, context, or explanations.

Embed a video to introduce the form or walk respondents through instructions.

Shared Settings
Click any field on the canvas to open its settings panel on the right. Most input fields share a common set of options:
- Question – The label respondents see.
- Description – Optional helper text shown below the question.
- Placeholder – Hint text shown inside the input.
- Required – Toggle to require an answer before the form can be submitted.
- Error message – Custom message shown when validation fails.
- Conditional logic – Show or hide the field based on answers to earlier fields. See Conditional Logic & Branching.
Selection fields (Checkbox, Multiple Choice, Dropdown, Multi-Select, Picture Choice) add option-list controls. Number, Star Rating, NPS Score, Likert Scale, and Slider expose min/max range controls. Content fields (Heading, Paragraph, Divider, Spacer, Image, Video, Icon) show only their relevant style options because they don’t collect data.
