How to Structure a Long Form With Sections
Last updated 2026-08-04
The Section block groups related questions and splits a long form into steps instead of one long scroll. Each section has its own default navigation — Next Section, Submit Form, or Jump to a Section — which a question's per-option branching logic can override.
- 1
Group questions into logical steps
Use Section blocks to break a long form into digestible parts — a “Contact Info” section, then a “Project Details” section — rather than one continuous list of questions.
- 2
Set each section's default navigation
Every section has its own default navigation: Next Section, Submit Form, or Jump to a Section. This is what happens when a respondent finishes the section, unless a question inside overrides it.
- 3
Override navigation for a specific answer
A question inside a section can carry its own per-option branching logic that sends respondents to a different section based on how they answer, overriding the section's default. See Add branching logic to a form.

Let AI organize sections for you
Forms generated from a prompt are already organized into sections automatically — you don't need to build the structure from scratch.
- 5
Generate more questions for one section
If a section needs more questions later, open it and click “Generate questions with AI” — describe what's missing and AI adds matching questions to just that section.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I have to set navigation manually on every section?
- Every section has a default (Next Section, Submit Form, or Jump to a Section) that applies unless a question inside it overrides it with its own branching logic — you only need to touch it when you want different behavior.
- Does AI organize sections for me, or do I have to add them myself?
- If you generate a form from a prompt, it's already split into sections automatically. You can still add, rename, or rearrange sections yourself afterward.
