# Show & Hide Questions

Use **Show Questions** and **Hide Questions** to dynamically control which questions respondents see based on their answers.

This is useful when you want to keep related questions in the same survey flow but only display them when they are relevant to a respondent.

For example:

> **IF** Question 1 is equal to "Yes"<br />**THEN** Show Question 3 — this question will only be shown if the specified criteria is met; otherwise, it will remain hidden.

OR:

> **IF** Question 1 is equal to "No"<br />**THEN** Hide Question 3 — the question will be hidden only if this condition is met; otherwise, it will remain shown.

This does not mean the survey will jump directly to that question; it simply means that when the turn of that question comes, **it will either be displayed** or **skipped** depending on the previous choices.

## Show a Question Based on an Answer

  <Step title="Step 3: Create your condition">
    Click **Add Rule** and configure the **IF** condition. Select the question, operator, and value that should trigger the rule.

    For example:

    > **IF** Question 1 → **Is equal to** → **"Yes"**

    </Frame>

    **Save** the rule to apply the changes.

    The selected question will now be shown when the condition is met.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Hide a Question Based on an Answer

The setup for **Hide Questions** works in the same way. Repeat **Steps 1–3** from above, then continue reading below.

Create your **IF** condition, then select **Hide Questions** under **THEN** and choose the question or questions you want to hide.

For example:

> **IF** Question 1 **is equal to** **"No"**<br />**THEN** **Hide** Question 3
