# Button types

> Change the labels, alignment, style, and animation of your form's next, submit, and start buttons. Optionally add a skip button and edit the position of your back button.

## List of button types

By default, your form will have the following buttons:

* **Next**  - assigned button for form, review, payment, login, and scheduling [pages](/page-types)
* **Submit** - button to proceed to the [ending page](/ending-page)
* **Back**  - located on the upper left corner, allows respondents to view previous pages
* **Start** - found in [cover pages](/cover-page)

You can also add:

* **Skip** - lets respondents proceed to the next page without answering the current one

## Customize button

Click a button's <Icon icon="gear-complex" iconType="solid" />. On the right-hand panel, you can:

* Edit the default button text to your preferred label
* Change its alignment
* Change its background color
