| 27 | +[!INCLUDE [cc-beta-prerelease-disclaimer](../../includes/cc-beta-prerelease-disclaimer.md)] |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +> [!NOTE] |
| 30 | +> When adding or moving fields using drag and drop be aware that the form preview is responsive and may be rendering multiple section columns as stacked. To ensure that the field being added or moved is in the correct section column, drop or paste it anchored to another field that is already in that section column. |
| 31 | +
|
| 32 | +## Add fields to a form |
| 33 | +To add fields to a form, use the **Fields** pane. The **Fields** pane lets you search and filter to help you quickly find fields. It also includes the option to show only unused fields. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +### Add fields to a form using drag and drop |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +1. Open the form designer to create or edit a form. |
| 38 | + - More information: [Create a form](create-and-edit-forms.md#create-a-form) or [Edit a form](create-and-edit-forms.md#edit-a-form) |
| 39 | +2. In the command bar, select **Add field**, or in the left pane, select **Fields**. |
| 40 | + - The **Fields** pane is open by default when the form designer is opened. |
| 41 | +3. In the **Fields** pane, search, filter, or scroll to find the field you want to add. |
| 42 | + - If you can't find a field, it might already be on the form. Clear **Show only unused fields** to view all fields, including those already added to the form. |
| 43 | +4. In the **Fields** pane, select a field and drag it onto the form preview. As you drag the field on the form preview, you will see drop targets where you can add the field. |
| 44 | +5. Drop the field in the ___location you want. |
| 45 | + - Fields can be dropped before or after any existing field. |
| 46 | + - Fields can also be dropped in the empty area within a section. In this case the field will be added in an available space so as to evenly distribute fields across the section columns. |
| 47 | + - Hovering over a tab header when dragging a field changes the currently selected tab, allowing you to add the field to a different tab. |
| 48 | +6. Repeat steps 3-5 above if you want to add more fields. |
| 49 | +7. In the command bar, select **Save** to save the form, or select **Publish** if you want to save and make your changes visible to end-users. |

| 62 | +5. In the **Fields** pane, select a field to add it to the form. |
| 63 | + - Alternatively, select **...** next to the field you want, and then select **Add to selected section**. |
| 64 | +6. Repeat steps 2-5 above if you want to add more fields. |
