Adding content to a form

Accessible Surveys provides three distinct methods for adding content (Pages, Sections, and Questions) to your form, depending on your preferred workflow.

Option A: Using "Add Content" Mode (Visual)

This mode provides a visual, drag-and-drop interface for building your form.

Step 1: Activate Add Content Mode

In the Compose view, locate and click the Add Content Mode button in the top toolbar.

Activate Add Content Mode to enable drag-and-drop building.

Step 2: Drag and Drop

Once activated, you can drag question types from the left panel directly onto your form canvas to insert them exactly where you want them.

Option B: Using the Tree View Context Menu (Structural)

The Tree View (left pane) allows you to precisely insert new structural elements exactly where you need them.

Step 1: Right-Click in the Tree View

Step 2: Configure the New Content

Select the newly added item in the Tree View.

Option C: Using Sequential "Add" Buttons (Guided)

You can also use the primary action buttons within the Property/Content view to add elements sequentially.

Step 1: Select the Parent Element

Click on the parent element in the Tree View (e.g., the Form node to add a Page).

Select the parent element in the Tree View.

Step 2: Click the "Add" Button

In the right pane, locate and click the primary "Add..." button (e.g., "Add a new Page", "Add a new Section", or "Add a new Question").
