# 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.
