   Overview
--------

Webforms are a great way to collect information from your users, for contact forms, surveys, registrations, and more. They are centrally managed in the Webforms section of the District.

Adding a webform to a site page is a two-step process:

1. Create the webform in the Webforms section.
2. Add the created webform to a content page. See **Add a webform to a content page** for step 2.

Step 1 — Create the webform
---------------------------

1. In the menu, click the **Structure** icon.
2. Select **Forms** from the **Webforms**dropdown. This opens a page listing all webforms on your site.
3. Click **+ Add webform** at the top of the page.
4. Enter a **Title** for the webform.
5. Click **Save**.

Step 2 — Add form elements
--------------------------

1. From the **Build** tab, click **+ Add element**.
2. Choose the type of form element to add (e.g. Text field, Email, Checkbox, etc.).
3. Configure the element settings — including the label, description, and any validation rules.
4. Click **Save** to add the element to your form.
5. Repeat for each element you need to add.

Once all form elements have been added, review and configure your webform's behaviour in the **Settings** tab, including confirmation messages, email handlers, and submission options.
