How to Add and Use Branching Logic in MS Forms
You can build your survey and quiz with the branching logic feature in Forms. After planning how you want to compose your branch, you must move into the Forms and open a New Form. Then Add new questions related to your branching, and finally, select the Three dots and Add branching options.
Let’s move out and see the entire process with step-by-step guidance.
Here are the methods to add and use branching logic in MS Forms:
1. Build a Structure
The first thing you need to do before jumping into the branch logic is to set up a format in your mind about how you want to display your survey or quiz with the branch. If you want, you can also write the format down.
If you don’t make a structure before starting the branch, you will be at a loss during the branch crafting in Forms.
For example, I would build a survey about Computer Users for this article. That’s why I want to implement some computer-related questions in my MS Form’s branching.
