Skip logic decides where to go next after a question is answered. For example, if someone selects "I'm not interested", you can skip them ahead to a later section or end the survey entirely.
Display logic and skip logic solve different problems. See the Logic, Flow & Conditions hub for how they fit together.
How to set up skip logic#
- Select the question.
- Open the condition builder from the properties panel.
- Define the condition (e.g., "If answer = Not interested").
- Choose the target — a specific section to jump to, or the end of the survey.
When the condition is met, the respondent leaves the normal section order and follows the skip target you chose.
Display logic vs skip logic#
| Display logic | Skip logic | |
|---|---|---|
| Controls | Whether a question or section appears | Where the respondent goes next |
| When it runs | Before or while content is shown | After the source question is answered |
| Typical use | Hide follow-ups unless relevant | Screen out, branch paths, end early |
| Guide | Display logic | This page |
Tip: Display logic controls whether a question appears. Skip logic controls where the respondent goes next. You can use both on the same question — for example, show a follow-up only to interested respondents, then skip disqualified respondents to the end.
Condition builder#
Skip logic uses the same condition builder as display logic and quota rules. For operator tables by question type (single choice, matrix, ranking, and more), see Display logic — The condition builder.
Examples:
- "If NPS score is greater than 8, skip to thank-you section"
- "If email ends with '@company.com', skip to Section 3"
- "If answer = Not interested, end survey"
Flow tab and branches#
For survey-wide routing — multiple branches, randomizers, or end-of-survey blocks — use the Flow editor. Skip logic on individual questions is best for simple jumps right after an answer; the Flow tab is best when you want a visual map of every path.
Note: Use Preview to walk through skip rules as a respondent would. A skip that fires on Q2 should take you to the target section (or end screen) on the next page, not merely hide later questions.
