Who This Is For / When to Use

Use Field Spacing when you want to:

  • Improve form or survey readability.

  • Adjust spacing for long or multi-step forms.

  • Match your form layout to brand or design guidelines.

  • Create a cleaner experience on desktop and mobile.


What Field Spacing Does

Field Spacing controls the vertical gap between individual fields in a form or survey.

When adjusted:

  • All fields update spacing consistently.

  • No changes are made to field logic or data capture.

  • Only the visual layout is affected.

This setting applies at the form or survey level, not per individual field.


How to Change Field Spacing

  1. Open the form or survey you want to edit.

  2. Enter the builder view.

  3. Select any field to open the properties panel.

  4. Go to Styles.

  5. Locate the Field Spacing setting.

  6. Increase or decrease the value to adjust spacing between fields.

  7. Save and preview your changes.

Changes are reflected immediately in the builder preview.


Where Field Spacing Appears

  • Field Spacing is available under Styles in the right-side panel.

  • The value is measured in pixels.

  • The same spacing applies across all pages of the form or survey.


Common Issues and Fixes

Field spacing looks too large on mobile

Reduce the Field Spacing value and preview the form on a smaller screen before publishing.

Increase the Field Spacing value to improve readability and reduce visual clutter.

Spacing didn’t change after editing

Benefits of Field Spacing

  • Enhanced layout control: Fine-tune how dense or open your forms appear.

  • Improved user experience: Clear separation between fields reduces cognitive load.

  • Design flexibility: Adapt spacing for different use cases like lead forms, surveys, or quizzes.
