2. Important: If you delete a question, it will be permanently deleted along with any
response data that's been collected for it. Learn more.
Before you get started, it's a good idea to make sure all of your questions are created.
When you're ready to add branching, follow these steps:
1. Go to the question for which you want to add branching. Select More settings for
question , and then choose Add branching. Note: If you add sections to your form, you
can also add branching to a section. On the section you want to branch, select More
settings for section , and then choose Add branching.
2. On the Branching options page, select the drop-down list next to the question you want
to branch.
3. Select the question that you want to branch to. In this example, if a
respondent answers Yes to question #5, you would direct them to go on to the next
question (#6). However, if the respondent answers No to the question #5, you would have
them branch, or skip, to question #7 Notes: You can only branch to a consecutive

question and not a preceding one. For example, if you have seven questions in your form
and want to add branching to question 4, it can only branch to questions 5, 6, 7, or end of
form. In the same example, question 5 can only branch to questions 6, 7, or end of form.
If you try to branch to a preceding question, such as question 4 branching to question 2, it
will break the experience for your respondent by skipping questions 5 through 7 and
taking them directly to the end of the form with the Submit button. To prevent this, only
branch to a consecutive question.
4. To insert additional branches to your survey or quiz, repeat steps 2 and 3. If you want a
particular question assigned as the final one in the survey or quiz, select the drop-down
list next to that question, and then select End of the form.
5. If you want to completely reset your form and remove branching, select More options ,
and then choose Reset.
