Information text in Forms

Use Info text to place instructions, explanations, or other read-only content between the fields in a Form section.

Add information text

You need edit access to the Form.

1. Open the Form from Library and select the section that needs the text.
2. Select Add Field or Add field or content.
3. Under Content, choose Info text.
4. In Edit Information text, replace the starter text in Information text (Markdown). Use the rich-text toolbar, or switch to Source mode when you prefer to edit Markdown directly.
5. Select Done, wait for the Form to save, and use Preview to check how the text appears to someone filling the Form.

Selecting Cancel or closing the editor discards changes made since the editor was opened. Done commits the draft to the Form and returns focus to the item.

Position and reuse the text

Information text appears in the section at its saved position alongside fields and display images. Open the item's actions to:

• choose Move up or Move down;
• use Move to section;
• Duplicate the item; or
• Delete it.

You can also use the reorder handle when it is available. Keep instructions near the fields they explain, and break long guidance into short paragraphs or lists so it remains readable on smaller screens.

Understand what it records

Info text is a content item, not a response field. Someone filling the Form can read its formatted content but cannot answer it. It is never required, does not affect validation or scoring, and does not write a value to a Person Record. Use a Short text, Long text, choice, or other field when you need a response.

Blank information text does not block Form readiness, but it displays no useful content to the person filling the Form. Remove an unused item or add meaningful text before sharing the Form.

Fix common problems

• An edit disappeared: Reopen the item, make the change, and select Done. Cancel intentionally keeps the previously saved text.
• Formatting looks wrong: Switch between Rich text and Source mode, correct the Markdown, then check Preview again.
• The text appears in the wrong place: Use the item actions or reorder handle to move it within the section or to another section.
• A response is needed: Add a field instead. Info text only displays content.
