Every form starts as a single page. For short forms (under ~7 fields), that is usually enough. When a form gets longer or branches into different flows, split it into pages so respondents see one focused set of questions at a time.
Respondents navigate between pages with Next and Back buttons that formbase adds automatically. The final page shows a Submit button instead of Next. Back retraces the pages the respondent actually visited, so a page jump is undone step by step rather than dropping them on the page before.
The thank-you page is not one of these pages — it is the screen after submitting, and it never appears in the page count.
A thin progress bar at the top of the form shows respondents how far along they are.
> Conditional logic can jump to a specific page — for example, "If the respondent picks 'Self-employed', skip to page 4". The jump happens > when the respondent presses Next on the page with that question. On later pages, Next goes on in page order. A rule that reads only > hidden or calculated fields can jump from any page, but only forward. A page the jumps skip counts as hidden: its questions are not > required, and its answers are dropped. See Conditional logic. >
Columns let you place blocks side-by-side. Use them for compact layouts — a name and email on one row, an image next to a description, or grouped choice fields.
> Logic, Hidden Field, Calculated Field, Page Break, Thank You Page, and a repeating group only work at the top level of the form. The > block menu hides them while the cursor is inside a column. A repeating group forbids a little more: Payment, Schedule appointment, and > Documents are also out, because a submission pays, books, and is handed documents once — not once per entry. >
> ℹ️ **Responsive behavior** >Columns stack vertically on small screens. Respondents on mobile see one column at a time, so the form stays readable.
Every block has a drag handle on its left edge. Grab it to reorder blocks within a page or move them between columns.
Click the drag handle (or tap the block indicator on touch devices) to open a menu. What it offers depends on the block; these are the entries you will meet most.
Select several blocks at once — drag a rectangle around them, shift-click a second block to take the range, or press Cmd/Ctrl+A{' '} twice — and the same menu acts on all of them: turn into, required, title visibility, wrap into a group, duplicate, move, hide, delete.
A repeating group is a labeled container that holds a set of member fields — like a "Add additional guests" group with Name and Age. Respondents add as many entries as they need, so you don't have to guess how many you'll get up front. Insert a fresh{' '} Repeating Group from the block menu, or select a run of existing fields and pick Create repeating group.

Every form has a thank-you page — always the last page. It is what respondents see after they submit. Customize it with headings, images, links, and piped answers — or redirect to an external URL instead.
