Overview

Add a skip logic rule so an answer jumps respondents forward to a later question, past the ones that no longer apply. The rule lives on the question whose answer triggers the jump.

Step-by-step

  1. Select the trigger question — click its card, open Settings, and switch to the Logic tab. The Logic tab with the Skip Logic section

  2. Click + Add Skip Rule under Skip Logic.

  3. Fill in the three parts — If answer to (this question), an Operator (Equals, Contains…), and the Value, then choose the destination under Then skip to — a later question in the list. A configured skip rule

  4. Confirm the chip — the question card shows a → Skip logic chip so routed questions are visible on the canvas.

Tips

Tip: Skip logic only jumps forward. Order your survey so every skip target comes after its trigger — a rule can't send someone back.

Note: Questions the respondent skips over collect nothing, so their response counts in Results will be lower. That's the routing working as intended.
