Guided Mode lets you create forms and surveys that display one question at a time, making your forms more conversational and giving submitters a more closely guided experience. Many question types will automatically advance to the next page once an answer is selected.
How it works
Switching to Guided Mode
To enable Guided Mode, click Theme (droplet icon) in the top right corner of the form editor and select "Guided Mode" under Form Experience.
Guided Mode has different appearance options than Standard Mode, allowing you to customize your forms' Pagination and Submit buttons. You can change these by going to Theme → UI Elements:
Submit Button
Button Text - Change the text displayed on the Submit Button. This is set to "Submit" by default.
Shows the total price - Toggle whether the form's total price is shown on the Submit Button. This is enabled by default.
Pagination Buttons
Include a back button - Toggle whether a back button is displayed on your form. This is disabled by default.
Include progress bar - Toggle whether a progress bar is displayed along the top edge of your form. This is disabled by default.
Include page numbers - When toggled on, the current page number is displayed next to the total number of pages in the top right corner of your form. This is disabled by default.
Other Content
Content such as text, images, and videos that are part of your form but not part of your question fields will be displayed on the same page as the next question that follows it. You can add page breaks if you want to keep this content on a separate page or break it across several pages.
Advancing Questions
Navigation
Submitters can navigate between pages using the pagination buttons. You cannot advance past a question that is marked as required. Guided Mode has a couple of additional methods of navigating between pages:
Enter/Return to go to the next page.
Tab/Shift + Tab to change between pages.
Scroll/swipe up and down to change between pages.
Several field types will auto-advance to the next question when Guided Mode is enabled, while others require specific settings to auto-advance. Fields based on a text input or more complex interactions will not auto-advance. Check out the list below for a breakdown of behavior by field type.

This quiz template tracks scoring, provides answer feedback and uses visibility logic based on the submitter's score.
How it works:
This form has 15 questions, presented one at a time. Using our Scoring feature, each correct answer adds 1 point to the total score.
The form is split into rounds, after which the correct answers are displayed using Multiple Choice questions with default answers and the cumulative score.
A different page is displayed based on the score using page visibility logic.
This template helps to streamline the process of collecting appointments from clients and taking payments. When the Appointment Field is connected to a Google Calendar, you can automatically block off dates as they're booked.
How it works:
Submitters are presented with one question at a time.
This template contains page visibility logic. If the submitter indicates they are a new student, they are prompted to enter their address, license number, transmission preference and agree to the terms and conditions. This page is hidden if they are an existing student.
This form also contains an Appointment Field, which can be connected to Google Calendar to set availability and automatically block off dates as they're booked.
