New Alchemer surveys will always start with two pages, an initial page, called Page 1, and a Thank You Page.
You will notice that the Thank You Page has fewer options for adding new elements to the page. Most notably, you cannot add questions to the Thank You Page of the survey.
If you take a quick preview of the Thank You Page in your new survey, you will see that the Thank You Page has neither a Next nor a Back button. Data is collected in Alchemer surveys when the Next button at the bottom of the page is clicked. Because Thank You Pages are terminal pages, used by the Alchemer system to mark the response as complete, they are unable to collect data; hence, no questions or actions that collect data can be added to Thank You Pages.
Customize Your Thank You Page
Thank You Pages come with a default Text / Instructional element. If you wish you can edit this element. You can also add other elements to the Thank You Page.

Add Additional Terminal Pages
Each Alchemer survey should have at least one Thank You Page (you will notice there is not option to delete the Thank You Page). As you build logic into your survey, you can use Skip Logic to jump respondents to the Thank You Page, when questions and pages do not apply to them.
There is also the option to add additional terminal pages. You can mark any page in your survey as a terminal page by clicking the pencil icon for the page to edit and changing the Terminal Page option to Yes on the Logic tab. Creating new Thank You Pages is usually an alternative to using skip/disqualify logic. Respondents can be selectively sent to intermediate Thank You Pages in your survey as a method for terminating them early and simultaneously marking their response as complete. This allows for super flexible surveys!
On the Build tab, terminal pages will be labeled as a Thank You Page and will have a blue header that reads Responses are marked as complete when they reach this page.
