- From the right-hand item pane, click on Text Box or Text Item and drag the item to where you would like the question to appear on the form.

You can further customize the properties of the text items by clicking on it and editing the fields within the right-hand Properties pane.
Required vs. Optional Questions
Optional vs. Required: If questions, sections, and attachments are optional, users may skip them, potentially leading to incomplete submissions. Make sure to mark necessary items as Required.
