Content

The Content component adds formatted text, such as headings, instructions or a privacy notice, using a visual editor. It doesn't collect data.

Add content

  1. Drag a Content component onto the form.

  2. Type directly in the editor that appears on the form, and use its toolbar for bold, lists, links, colors and so on.

  3. Save the form.

The editor also has a source view for editing the HTML directly.

Content is shown exactly as written. HTML you paste into the source view, including scripts and event attributes such as onclick, runs in the user's browser. Only paste HTML from sources you trust, and review forms imported from elsewhere.

Settings

The only Display setting is Custom CSS Class. Content can be shown or hidden with conditions on the Conditional tab, like any other component.
