Creating long forms for any purpose can be a bad idea. However, you can make your form manageable and well-organized for respondents, by adding multiple pages through inserting sections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will allow you to segregate your form into different sections with different categories, making it more approachable for respondents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also in the form description, mention how many sections there will be so that respondents will not be going blindly in the form.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"833\" height=\"302\" data-id=\"140\"  src=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/google-forms-advanced-features-sections.png.webp\" alt=\"google-forms-tricks-add-sections\" class=\"wp-image-140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/google-forms-advanced-features-sections.png.webp 833w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/google-forms-advanced-features-sections-300x109.png.webp 300w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/google-forms-advanced-features-sections-768x278.png.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 833px) 100vw, 833px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to the last block on the floating sidebar and click on the two vertical boxes symbol <strong>\u2018Add Section\u2019<\/strong> button from it.

Conditioning Logic or Logic Branching is a showy way of describing that based on the answer participants give, they will be redirected to a complimentary and particular question.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you choose a &#8216;hair&#8217; option then you&#8217;ll be redirected to the Hair section. You\u2019ll automatically skip other questions\/sections that are meant for a specific category.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:17px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2172\" height=\"1012\" data-id=\"4384\"  src=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/google-forms-section-based-questions.webp\" alt=\"google-forms-section-based-questions\" class=\"wp-image-4384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/google-forms-section-based-questions.webp 2172w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/google-forms-section-based-questions-300x140.webp 300w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/google-forms-section-based-questions-1024x477.webp 1024w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/google-forms-section-based-questions-768x358.webp 768w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/google-forms-section-based-questions-1536x716.webp 1536w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/google-forms-section-based-questions-2048x954.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2172px) 100vw, 2172px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:17px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You must keep in mind that only for multiple-choice and dropdown-type questions can you add conditioning logic.
