If you’ve ever opened a form and immediately thought, “Well… that’s a lot,” you already understand why Form Steps exist.
Form Steps allow you to break your form into clear, manageable sections. Instead of presenting one long scroll of fields, you guide applicants through a structured, step-by-step journey.
It’s calmer. Cleaner. And significantly better for conversion.
Here's how to set up Form Steps.
What Are Form Steps?
Form Steps divide your submission form into separate sections (or “steps”) that applicants complete one at a time.
Instead of seeing everything at once, creators move through the form in stages — for example:
Step 1: Personal Details
Step 2: Project Information
Step 3: Uploads
Step 4: Payment
Each step feels contained and achievable.
Why Are Form Steps Useful?
1. They Increase Completion Rates
When a form looks long, people abandon it. When it looks structured and manageable, they continue.
Steps reduce psychological overwhelm. Applicants focus on what’s in front of them — not the 27 fields waiting below.
2. They Improve Clarity
You can group related questions together:
Bio information in one step
Work uploads in another
Optional extras in a final step
It creates logical flow instead of cognitive chaos.
3. They Work Beautifully with Complex Forms
If you’re:
Accepting multiple works
Running an award or contest
Collecting attachments
Taking payments
Steps help you separate information into meaningful sections instead of one dense page.
4. They Autosave Progress
As creators move between steps, their progress is automatically saved.
They can:
Move back to previous steps
Edit earlier answers
Leave and return later
No lost work. No panic.
