The first is a blue button with Select. The second button is a gray button with Cancel. There is also text to the right of the buttons that says Only select images that you have confirmed that you have the license to use.

Insert a Video

You can also insert YouTube videos in your form, and can place them before or after a question or other part of your form. This can be useful for quizzes where the user needs to watch a video and then respond to related questions.

To add a video click the Add Video button.
This will open the Insert Video window where you can search for a YouTube video or paste in the video URL.
Once you choose the video you want, click Select at the bottom to add it to your form.

Note: Once you insert a video into the form you can click and drag it to place it elsewhere in the form, just like you can do with form questions.

To add a section break:

First click the Add Section.
You can now enter in a section title in the Header text box.
