Logic Guide

Conditional logic can be used to change the way your form behaves depending on how it is filled out.

Percent-encoding

Some characters cause a URL to break. In these instances, you may use percent-encoding to keep the same data in the URL and also keep it safe.

Use your own S3 Bucket

Use your own custom S3 bucket to store: uploaded files from image and file questions; custom PDFs; and submission exports that exceed the threshold for immediate download.

Why aren't the questions on my form appearing in the View version?

If fields on your form are visible on the editor but *not* the live view, likely the reason behind this is they're either set to "Hidden", or Conditional Logic is preventing them being shown.

Why isn't the submit button appearing or working on my form?

If a submit button doesn’t appear at the end of a form, it usually means that the "X Questions to Go" counter is active on your form.
