# Multi-Step Forms

Break long forms into smaller steps so customers don't feel overwhelmed. Instead of showing every question at once, multi-step forms guide people through one section at a time with a progress bar at the top.

This works especially well for detailed service requests or booking flows where you need a lot of information.

## How It Works

1. Open your form in the form builder.
2. Click **Add Step** at the bottom of your form to create a new step.
3. Drag fields into each step. For example:
   * **Step 1:** Contact info (name, phone, email)
   * **Step 2:** Job details (service type, description, photos)
   * **Step 3:** Scheduling (preferred date, time of day)
4. Give each step a name by clicking the step header (for example, "Your Info," "Job Details," "Schedule").
5. Click **Preview** to walk through the form as your customer would see it.
6. Publish when everything looks right.

## Tips

* **Keep each step to 3-5 fields.** Fewer fields per step means customers are more likely to keep going.
* **Put the easiest questions first.** Start with name and phone — once someone fills out the first step, they're more likely to finish.
* **Use the progress bar** to show customers how close they are to finishing. It turns on automatically for multi-step forms.
