Creating Multi-Step Forms

4 min readLast updated August 8, 2026

Long forms feel shorter, and get finished more often, when you break them into pages. Multi-step forms show respondents a progress bar and one manageable chunk at a time instead of one long scroll.

Turning It On

  1. 1Open your form's Settings
  2. 2Find "Enable multi-step form"
  3. 3Toggle it on

How Pages Are Created

You don't need a dedicated "Add Step" button - pages are created from your fields automatically:

  • Section Break fields: add a Section Break from the field palette anywhere you want a new page to start. Everything before it is one page, everything after starts the next.
  • Automatic splitting: without any Section Breaks, FormBharat splits your form into pages once a page gets too long for a comfortable mobile screen - roughly every 4 fields, depending on field types.

For full control over exactly where each page breaks, add Section Break fields yourself rather than relying on automatic splitting.

What Respondents See

  • A progress bar showing "Page X of Y" and percent complete, styled in your form's theme color
  • Next / Previous buttons to move between pages
  • Answers are kept as they move back and forth, so checking an earlier answer doesn't lose their progress

When to Use Multi-Step

  • Forms with 10+ fields
  • Forms that mix different topics - contact info, then preferences, then payment
  • Forms where you want to reduce the "wall of fields" feeling on mobile

Short forms under 5 fields are usually faster to complete as a single page.
