# Navigation settings

> Customise the continue and back buttons shown to respondents as they move through your form.

Navigation settings let you control the position of the continue button and configure whether respondents can navigate backwards through the form.

***

## Continue button alignment

The continue button appears at the bottom of each question. You can align it to the left, center, or right of the form card.

1. Open the form in the studio.
2. Click the **Settings** icon (⚙) in the canvas toolbar.
3. Scroll to the **Navigation** section.
4. Under **Button alignment**, choose **Left**, **Center**, or **Right**.

The default alignment is **Left**.

## Back button

The back button lets respondents return to a previous question without restarting the form. It is hidden by default.

### Enabling the back button

1. Open **Form Settings**.
2. Scroll to the **Navigation** section.
3. Toggle **Show back button** on.

### Back button options

Once enabled, the following options appear:

| Option     | Description                                                                                                       |
| ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Style**  | Controls what is rendered: **Icon only**, **Text only**, or **Icon and text**                                     |
| **Label**  | The text shown when style includes text. Defaults to `"Back"`                                                     |
| **Layout** | **Grouped** places the back button next to the continue button. **Space between** pushes it to the opposite side. |

<Note>
  The back button is only shown after the respondent has moved past the first question. It never appears on the entry screen.
</Note>

## Auto-advance

Some question types (single-choice, rating, scale) advance automatically when the respondent makes a selection, without requiring them to click continue. You can override this per-question by enabling **Show submit button** in the question settings — this forces the continue button to appear even for auto-advancing types.
