Questions missing when I preview form

A few of my questions are missing when I preview the form. While I am in developing mode, they show up fine. Any ideas?

Thank you for your reply. They are not branching from earlier. They are just simple new questions. I can see the entire form when I’m working on it, but then I can’t when on preview form nor when my students log in to take the quiz. A symbol is showing on my form. Not sure what does mean. Please see the attachment.

No clue why this works but I have just had the same problem and fixed it by deleting (in developer view) the LAST question you see on the preview and then adding it back into the form at the same place. I can now see all of the questions!

    Deleting the last question worked because it had a branching attached to it

      The questions are missing because of branching. To fix it, select any question or at the right side of the section click (...) and choose "Add branching". On each question or at end of each section you should see Go to "Next".
      If you see any other "section" or "End of the form" in Go to field, all questions between the selection will be skipped in the preview(user View). Hope it helps someone who is still looking for a solution.

        rajesh_gm Thanks for your tip. While it did not work for me, it did give me the idea to move my branching question to the bottom of my survey. Once I did this, I was able to see all of my questions in the preview.

    Thanks for your tip.

    Seems like this is working for everyone but me!

    My form is cut off at the end of the 5th section. Have tried deleting the question, previewing, and then re-entering the question, and previewing.

    Still not showing.

    When someone attempts to take the quiz, it shows the submit button, but also shows that you are only at 5 of 9 sections.

    Any help would be appreciated.

      It seems as though it's related to "required" feature. I had 8 questions but only 5 were showing. No branching. Deleting and adding didn't help. But I noticed that when I selected "required" that the question had asterisk on the developer side and wouldn't show on the preview side. When I took this off, it solved my problem. Might be buggy.

        Hello,

        I'm having a hard time with this too.  I have deleted, previewed, and added and nothing, it still won't have all my questions on there on the preview side.  Specially where they have to upload the a document for this.

        I deleted the entire thing and restarted and nothing worked. 

         

        Can you please help?

    This works.... Delete one question and preview the form. Then add it again.
