Back button
By default, the back button is enabled. You can use the toggle switch to disable it for the entire survey.
If a respondent navigates back to a previous question, their selected answer for that question will be shown. If they back up past multiple questions and then move forward again, the software will pre-fill responses for any question they had already answered.
When viewing in-progress records in the Analysis and Data sections of Discover, only responses to questions answered in the forward direction are included. If a respondent answers a question and then navigates back, their response to that question will not appear in any downloads or analyses.

Discover allows the use of skip logic to navigate respondents backward to previous questions. When a respondent is redirected to earlier questions, it is treated as an intentional forward path by the survey author, and all responses to questions answered before the skip will remain available in data downloads and analyses.
Survey authors should exercise caution when using backward skips. While they can be useful in certain scenarios, improper use may result in a confusing respondent experience and unclear results. Discover will issue a warning before survey publication if any backward skips are detected.
