Form Builder Overview

When you create a new form or open an existing one, the Form Builder loads with the "Create" tab active by default. This is where you’ll design the layout and structure of your form using a simple drag-and-drop system.

You’ll find various elements in the Toolbox on the right side of the screen, which you can drag into your form. Each element has customizable settings to suit your needs.
