Start With A Blank Form
You must give your form a name before beginning, but you can change that name later if needed. The name is used so you can find your form easily later on.
Once you’ve filled out the field(s), finalize by clicking the Create Form button.
You will now be presented with a blank Form Editor screen, ready for your upcoming Form masterpiece!
This article shows the new “Block Editor” we introduced in Gravity Forms version 2.5. If your Editor screen looks quite different, it means you are using an older version of Gravity Forms. The fields, settings, operations and terms are basically the same, but you will find that the layout will look quite different. We recommend you update to the most current version, it’s awesome!
