Blurb

The Blurb element allows you to provide a short text description that provides additional context or instructions to your visitors submitting the form. It is designed to clarify, guide or explain the related form content.

Placement of the blurb on your form can be where it is needed most. This can include above, below or beside the field that it pertains to.

It is often placed in a way that attention will be drawn to the blurb, such as as using a different font color or making the blurb content bold.

Blurb elements are usually concise and informative.

They might include:

• Instructions
• Examples
• Clarifications
• Warnings

Please note

When you create any new form, a blurb element is in place at the top of the form and is set to "My Form".

This blurb can be edited by selecting the pencil icon in the top left corner of the element, or removed completely using the trashcan icon.
