# Building a form

Feedback, sign-ups and applications.

Managers can choose **Forms**, then start from a template or a blank form. Changes save as you type, and **What people see** shows the form as you build it.

## Question types

-   **Short answer** and **Long answer** for writing.
-   **Multiple choice** and **Dropdown** to pick one option.
-   **Checkboxes** to pick several.
-   **Rating**, on a scale to 5, 7 or 10, with your own labels.
-   **Date**, **Email** and **Number**.

Mark any question as required, and duplicate or reorder questions as you go.

## More options for a question

-   Add **help text** under the question.
-   Add an **Other** answer that people can write in.
-   **Shuffle** the options for each person.
-   **Show a question only when** an earlier question has a certain answer. Hidden questions aren't required, and their answers aren't saved.

## Text blocks and pages

Add a **text block** for a heading or instructions, and a **page break** to split a long form. People then see a progress bar, with Back and Next.

## Make it your own

Under **Look and feel**, choose a colour, a cover picture or your own image, and the send button's text. In **Settings**, write your own thank-you heading and message, and add a button linking to another page.

## Who can respond

-   **Anyone with the link**: no sign-in, and no name is recorded unless they write it in an answer.
-   **People signed in with Discord**: their Discord name is saved with their response. You can limit this to one response per person.

## Sharing

Every form has its own random link, like `/forms/h7Rt2mKqW9xLc4Pz`. **Make a new link** stops the old one working. To close a form, turn off **Accepting responses**, set a closing date, or set a response limit.

## After a course

In the course builder, choose a **Feedback form after passing**, and people see a link to it when they pass.

Don't use forms to ask for passwords, or for payment or other sensitive details.
