Under the Forms item you will see an option that says New Form. Clicking that will it to start the form creation process.
You will then be presented with a dialog box asking for the Title and Description of your new form.
You must give your form a name before you can begin, 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!
