To Add a Page Break

Click [Add Page Before] to add a page before the current questions on the page. Click [Add Page After] to add the page break after the questions on the page.
[Split Page Here]  To split a long survey page into smaller pages, click the [Split Page Here] button in the location you would like the page split into two pages and the following questions are moved to the next page. 
 

Note:

Example Navigation Buttons

It's a good idea to add a few page breaks to your survey, because the responses for each page are saved only when respondents click the Next or Previous link and successfully advance to a new page. 

We call this Real Time Saving:  Responses save only for saved pages.

 

What happens if a respondent clicks the exit survey link without clicking next?

When respondents exit the survey, your results are saved for only those pages that have been saved. Therefore, if you have a single page survey, there's a chance respondents will select all of their responses and click the Exit Survey link or close the browser instead of the Done button. In that case, no responses would be recorded for those respondents. Another issue with a single page survey is required question.

Warning!

Single page surveys and required questions:
If you have set required questions or text validation, responses cannot be saved until they have all been answered correctly. With a single page survey, there's a strong chance, respondents may miss some and never save any responses.

  Tip:

To split pages, click the [Split Page Here] button. When doing so, a page break is then added and the following questions are moved to the next page.
