Locate the floating toolbar on the right side of the screen and click the Add section icon (two rectangles)
This action splits your form into two sections.
The form now displays "Section 1 of 2" with your first question, followed by a "Continue to next section" rule, and then "Section 2 of 2" below it. This structure ensures respondents complete the first section before moving to the second.
