Grid with the column-layout is here!

Your forms just became more flexible with Grids 

Your respondents don't just care about the functionality of your form—the form-filling experience you provide them is also important. Make your forms look sharper and feel more intuitive, without compromising on the information you need with the new Grids, a powerful new way to bring structure, style, and clarity to your forms. It’s not just a layout tweak; it’s a smarter way to organize your form fields into responsive columns, turning long vertical stretches into neatly arranged, digestible sections.

What exactly is a Grid ? 

Think of it as a layout tool that lets you organize form fields into neat, side-by-side columns of 1, 2, or 3 across. Instead of stacking fields vertically like a never-ending list, you can group inputs together in rows and columns. It’s clean. It’s compact. And it is incredibly effective. 

1-column for classic, stacked input 

2-columns for paired fields 

3-columns for compact sections covering multiple details 

Visual clarity that drives completion 

Let’s talk about form psychology for a second. People often abandon forms because the layout overwhelms them. 

Grids reduce that friction. By grouping related fields into single rows, you create a visual story your users can follow. 

Need contact details? 
Drop Name, Email, and Phone Number into a tidy, side-by-side cluster. 

Want to collect job-related info? 
Line up Highest Qualification, Years of Experience, and Current Role in a single row. 

It’s not just easier to fill, it’s easier to finish. Instead of jumping from one question to the next in a vertical maze, your users see everything that belongs together, together. And it keeps users in the zone, increasing the chances they will reach that final “Submit” button. 

Flexibility with no friction 

Here’s the best part: Grids are forgiving. 

Need to tweak your layout mid-way through building? 

Want to move fields around after your form is already shared? 
Go ahead. The Grid adapts without breaking a sweat. You can shift fields in or out of the grid without losing any data or structure. 

Want to delete the grid without losing your fields?
All your form fields will stay intact and automatically shift back to a standard stacked layout in the same sequence they were placed in the Grid.

Looking for a clean slate without the grid and the fields in it? 
The choice is always yours! Zoho Forms asks for a CAPTCHA validation as a safety step before the deletion of fields. It’s a thoughtful touch that puts you in full control because every change should be intentional, and every form should feel just right.

This kind of fluidity means your form evolves with your needs. Whether you're iterating for better UX or restructuring based on customer reviews, Grids ensure your design remains clean, consistent, and completely under your control. 

It’s time to rethink your form layouts. Try using Grids on your next form.
