How to Add, Rename, or Delete a Section in a Form

Learn how to add, rename, and delete a section in forms in Smarter Drafter Pro.

Sections are the building blocks of your form. Each section acts as a container for one or more fields, and helps organise content for the person filling out the form. This guide shows you how to add a new section, rename an existing one, or delete a section you no longer need.

Instructions

Add a New Section

  1. Open your form in the Form Builder.
  2. Scroll to the position where you want to add a new section.
  3. Click New Section.
  4. A blank section will appear, automatically labelled Start Section if it’s the first section.
  5. Proceed to rename the section and add fields as needed.

Rename a Section

  1. Hover over the section heading.
  2. Click the pencil icon (✏️) to open the Section Edit panel.
  3. Enter your desired section name in the Heading field.
  4. Optional: Tick Hide Heading if you don’t want the heading to appear to the form filler.
  5. Click Save to apply your changes.

Delete a Section

  1. Locate the section you want to remove in the Form Builder.
  2. Click the trash can icon (🗑) beside the section.
  3. Confirm the deletion when prompted.

IMPORTANT: Deleting a section also deletes all the fields within it. This action cannot be undone.

Common Issues & Solutions

  • Issue: I can’t delete the first section in the form.
  • Solution: The initial section is required for every form and cannot be deleted. You can rename and reuse it instead.
  • Issue: The “New Page” option is greyed out on the first section.
  • Solution: The first section always starts on a new page by default. This setting can’t be changed.
