Page Break

    Split your survey across multiple pages with Next and Back navigation.

    Beginner2 min readUpdated 19 Oct 2026

    A Page Break divides the survey into separate pages. Respondents navigate through pages with Next and Back buttons. Everything before the break is Page 1; everything after is Page 2, and so on. Page Breaks keep long surveys from becoming an overwhelming wall of questions and enable page-level conditional logic.

    When to use it

    Reach for Page Break when:

    • your survey has more than 8–10 questions and you want to reduce perceived length
    • you want to separate distinct topic sections (demographics, product feedback, open comments)
    • you are using conditional logic to skip entire pages based on earlier answers
    • you want a progress bar that advances meaningfully as the respondent moves through the survey

    How to configure it

    Open the Page Break settings in the builder:

    • Next button label — customise the text on the Next button, e.g. "Continue" or "Next section".
    • Back button — show or hide the Back button. Hiding it prevents respondents from editing earlier answers.
    • Page title — an optional title shown in the progress bar for this page.

    Tips

    Tip — Group 3–6 related questions per page. A page with a single question feels sparse; a page with 15 questions defeats the purpose of pagination.

    Tip — Put sensitive or personal questions (age, income, personal details) on a later page. Respondents who have already invested time answering earlier questions are more likely to complete a sensitive section than if it appears at the start.

    Tip — Use page-level conditional logic to skip entire pages. If Page 3 only applies to respondents who answered "Yes" on Page 1, a page skip is cleaner and faster than hiding every individual question on that page with separate rules.
