Multi-page forms

Multi-page forms reduce overwhelm on applications, onboarding, and long research instruments. In classic layout, insert Page Break blocks to split the flow into pages, use Statement blocks as section intros, and rely on partial checkpoints so long forms feel manageable on mobile and desktop.

What is Multi-page forms?

Multi-page forms reduce overwhelm on applications, onboarding, and long research instruments. In classic layout, insert Page Break blocks to split the flow into pages, use Statement blocks as section intros, and rely on partial checkpoints so long forms feel manageable on mobile and desktop.

How it works

  1. Build your form in classic layout with the questions you need.
  2. Insert Page Break blocks where a new page should start (for example after identity, then after experience).
  3. Add Statement blocks at the top of sections to explain what comes next.
  4. Review partial checkpoints on long flows so progress feels clear as respondents move page to page.
  5. Preview on mobile, then publish and share the multi-page experience.

Key capabilities

  • Page Break in classic layout

    Use Page Break blocks to paginate classic-layout forms so respondents complete one section at a time.

  • Statements as section intros

    Place Statement blocks to introduce each page or topic without collecting an answer.

  • Partial checkpoints

    Long multi-page flows benefit from partial checkpoints so progress through the form stays understandable.

Benefits

  • Higher completion on long applications by splitting cognitive load across pages.
  • Clearer narrative structure with Statement intros per section.
  • Better mobile experience than one endless scrolling classic form.

Use cases

  • Job and grant applications
  • Customer or employee onboarding
  • Lengthy research instruments
  • Multi-section compliance questionnaires

Example workflow

An HR team builds a classic-layout application: Contact Info on page one, experience questions on page two (after a Page Break), and Legal consent on page three. Statement blocks introduce each section. They preview on mobile, publish, and share the careers-site embed. Candidates move page by page instead of scrolling a single long form.

Tips and best practices

  • Break pages by topic, not by arbitrary length - each page should feel like one job.
  • Put required identity fields early so incomplete starts still capture a contact when possible.
  • Test Page Break placement after enabling logic; skipped questions should not strand empty pages.

Limitations and plan notes

  • Page Break pagination applies in classic layout; plan your structure there when you need multi-page behavior.
  • Multi-page is a layout pattern - you still choose Universal, Match, or Knowledge mode based on scoring needs.
  • Very long instruments may still need logic to hide irrelevant sections rather than only adding more pages.

Frequently asked questions

How do I create a multi-page form?
In classic layout, add Page Break blocks between groups of questions. Each break starts a new page for respondents.
What are Statement blocks for?
Statements introduce a section or explain context without collecting an answer - useful as page intros on multi-page forms.
Do multi-page forms support partial checkpoints?
Yes. Partial checkpoints help long flows feel progress-oriented as respondents move through pages.
Is multi-page a separate quiz mode?
No. Multi-page is about classic-layout structure with Page Breaks. Quiz scoring still depends on Match or Knowledge mode when you need those behaviors.
