Answer Capsule

Gravity Forms enables multi-page forms through the Page field that divides long forms into manageable sections with progress indicators. Users can navigate between pages with conditional logic controlling visibility, while the Partial Entries Add-On (Elite license) allows form abandonment recovery for improved completion rates.

FAQ

Q: How do I add page breaks to create multi-page forms?
A: Drag the Page field from the Advanced Fields section into your form where you want to divide sections. Each Page Break creates a new form page with automatic navigation buttons.
Q: Can users save their progress and return later?
A: Yes, with the Save and Continue feature, users can save their form before submission and complete it later.
Q: How does conditional logic work with multi-page forms?
A: Conditional logic can show or hide entire pages based on user responses from previous pages, creating personalized form paths that skip irrelevant sections automatically.
Q: Are progress indicators automatically included with page breaks?
A: Yes, Gravity Forms automatically displays progress indicators showing users their completion status when Page fields are used in forms.
Q: What happens to incomplete multi-page form submissions?
A: Without the Partial Entries Add-On, incomplete submissions are lost. With an Elite license that includes the Partial Entries Add-On, incomplete submissions are captured, allowing for re-engagement with potential leads or customers.
Q: How many pages can a multi-page form have?
A: There’s no technical limit to the number of pages you can create using Page fields, but usability best practices suggest keeping forms under 10 pages for optimal completion rates.
