If you try to click directly, the preview screen will show a "Unable to preview" reminder: "This question requires logic to be triggered before preview.

  • If a question cannot be clicked, check if it's controlled by logic settings

Through intuitive tab design, question navigation, and the Skip Required Fields option, it effectively improves the quality and efficiency of survey design, ensuring your survey presents optimally to respondents.
