Use this interactive demo to learn how to add a divider to your SurveyMonkey forms.

‍

Adding dividers in SurveyMonkey helps organize sections within a survey, visually separating different areas or groups of questions. Here’s how to do it:

‍

Navigate to your desired survey and click on the ellipsis icon next to the survey title.
From the drop-down menu, select 'Edit survey'.
In the 'Design Survey' tab, go to 'Build' and choose 'Text' by clicking the 'Add' button.
Type your section title.
Go to the 'Rich Text Editor', click the ellipsis icon.
Format your text with bold text or increase the font size.
Click 'OK' to save.
Click 'Save' to apply the text, and you will see it as a visual break in your survey.
By following these steps, it allows you to insert lines, section titles, or symbols to visually break up sections on the same page.

📌 Why this matters

Adding dividers transforms long surveys from overwhelming walls of questions into digestible, logical sections that keep respondents engaged. Well-organized surveys see significantly higher completion rates because people can mentally process where they are in the journey.

You're essentially creating psychological checkpoints that make progress feel achievable. Beyond basic organization, dividers let you group related topics together, making it easier for respondents to switch mental contexts between different subjects and providing cleaner data analysis when questions are properly categorized.
