Remove next button in forms

I would like to streamline a form I have created and would like to remove the "next" button.

 

Is it possible to do this? If so, how? I cannot find where to add or remove it.

 

I have set up a series of sections/pages so that the selection of an option on a previous page goes to the relevant section based on that selection. 

 

Thanks.

    saira-b no, you can't remove that Next button nor change its behaviour. To go to a section and the questions in it  you need to use branching.

     

    In this example, depending on the country chosen the user sees the relevant section with the questions in it for that section:

     

     

    You select branching from the 3 dots at the bottom right of the question then select Add branching:

     

     

    You then select the section to branch to:

      Thank you for getting back to me about the next button rob_Elliot. I can see it could be useful, but it is a frustration to not be able to get rid of it as I am trying to make the form as streamlined as possible for the users of the form.

      I already have branching which is working fine. The next button just seems superfluous for what I am doing.

      Relating it to the example you have given above from the first screen I would like to go directly to the second branch immediately from selecting Portugal without having to also click on the next button.

      Thank you.

        saira-b that's not possible, Microsoft have built it that way and you can't jump straight from the selection to the next section without clicking the Next button.
