Layout#
These don't ask a question, they shape the page.
| Field | Collects | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Content | Nothing. Shows a block of text or images on the form. Include in submission documents decides whether it also appears on the submission PDF, notification email, and submission view. | On-page instructions, section intros. |
| Section Divider | Nothing. Shows a horizontal rule, optionally with a heading and some text under it. | Separating sections visually. |
| Page | Nothing. Splits the form into multiple pages, so respondents move through it with a Next button. | Long forms, reducing scroll fatigue. See Build a multi-page form. |
If a field type is greyed out#
Hover it and the picker tells you why. Payment reads Not available — connect a provider first. Everything else in the picker is available on every plan.
If you change a field's type later#
Open Advanced edit and use the Field Type dropdown.
Once the form has responses stored, the dropdown narrows to types that store their answers the same way, so switching can't strand the answers you've already collected. Before the first response arrives there's no such restriction: every type is offered, and converting between shapes (a Select to a Short text, say) discards the options you configured. Rebuild them if you switch back.
