How to Add Sections to a Google Form

Responders will see each section as a separate page. Use sections to guide different responders through different paths based on their responses.

  1. Add a section

Click the horizonal line icon at the bottom of the right menu panel to add a new section to the form.

Beneath each section, the form offers navigation options for what happens when a responder comes to the end of that section. Click the drop-down arrow next to “Continue to the next section” to access the options.

How to Shuffle Questions on a Google Form

When the questions are presented to the responders, the default is to have them shown in the order that they were created, and any response options will be shown the order they were added.

To move questions around:

  1. Grab the six dots on top of a question, and drag it to the new location.
  2. You can drag a question within a section or between sections.

To present the questions in random order:

  1. Click the settings icon, click Presentation, then select the Shuffle question type option.
  2. If you’ve set up sections, this will only shuffle questions within each section. There’s no way to have questions shuffle in one section but not in another.
