Show or hide a question based on an answer

You can show a follow-up question only after a respondent gives a chosen answer by adding a visibility rule to that question.

  1. In the builder, open the follow-up question's editor panel.
  2. Turn on Conditional visibility. The panel closes. A rule card opens below the question.
  3. Select Show. Under Field, choose the question whose answer controls visibility. You can use questions on the same page.
  4. Choose an operator and set the answer value. For a choice question, select equals and choose the answer under Select....
  5. To add another condition, click Add Rule. Additional rules join with AND. When your rules are set, click Save.

After you save, you see a card with Element Visibility and a Show when badge.

In the builder, you see a question with a rule dimmed and tagged Hidden.

You can use conditional visibility on all plans. You can add up to 5 rules to a question.

The manual editor joins your rules with AND. You can't use OR or nested groups.

You can't use a question from a later page as the source of a rule.

You can't give CAPTCHA a visibility rule or use it as a source.

If you save a rule without a field or value, Makeform drops it. If you have no rules left, nothing is saved.
