How to add questions

Markdown

View as Markdown

Every form has a title, a description, and questions under that. Click a field to change the wording. Drag the handle to change the order.

1. Open the picker

In Build, click the black + button (Add a question). You can also use Add a question here between existing fields.

2. Choose a type

Search Find a question type, or browse with ↑ ↓ and press ↵. The picker has 16 types. Most of them collect an answer. Statement is the exception: it is a heading and body you can drop in as a section, not a field people fill in.

  • Short text: a single line, like a company name or a short answer
  • Name: a full name
  • Long text: a paragraph, like comments or a cover note
  • Email: a validated email address
  • Phone: a phone number
  • Number: any number, such as age, years, or a budget
  • Quantity: a count with minus and plus
  • Single choice: pick one option
  • Multiple choice: pick several
  • Dropdown: pick one from a list
  • Rating: 1 to 5 stars
  • Linear scale: 0 to 10
  • Date: a calendar
  • Yes / No: two options
  • File upload: a resume, photo, or PDF
  • Statement: a heading and body, not an answer

Payments and signatures are not in the picker. The AI helper can still mention them. Skip those and use the types above.

3. Duplicate, delete, require

Hover a question for Duplicate and Delete. Required questions show a red asterisk. Optional ones do not.

4. Change the submit label

The button at the bottom of the canvas is editable. The same label also lives in Form settings → Messages.

If you want to rewrite several questions at once instead of editing one by one, use Chat to Edit. You can ask it to change wording or to put the form in another language.
