# Multi-step job application

A four-step application with numbered step circles. Each step is checked before **Next** lets you move on, step three has a required file upload, and a question on step two only appears for studio or hybrid work. When you send it, a **Display Page** action shows a thank-you page in place of the form.

**Try this:**

- Press **Next** on an empty step to see the checks.
- On step two, pick *In the Bristol studio* and a relocation question appears. Switch to *Fully remote* and it goes away again, and its answer is dropped.
- Upload any PDF on step three. **Next** waits until the upload has finished. Uploads go to a temporary folder outside the web root that is emptied every hour.
- The circles are clickable. Jumping ahead checks every step you skip.

## How it's built

A multi-step form is a `pro-steps` field holding one `pro-step` per page. Forms Pro has three progress styles: numbered circles (this form, `progress: steps`), a progress bar (the [workshop booking](https://demo.getgrav.org/forms-pro/forms/workshop-booking)) and tabs (the [feedback survey](https://demo.getgrav.org/forms-pro/forms/feedback-survey)). Answers are stored flat, so the step a field sits in never matters to notifications or entries.
