With skip logic in studies, you can jump participants to different questions based on their answers to a previous question.

In the example question below, only participants who select "Outside of my bedroom" will see Question 2, the relevant open-ended question that comes next. Those who do not will skip to Question 3.

If including skip logic to an answer option, click the skip logic icon next to the individual answer option to apply skip logic. If include skip logic at the question level, click the skip logic icon above the question prompt to direct participants to the question they should see next.

Skip logic can be applied to any question type in a usability tests or media survey, with the exception of Checkpoint questions. Multi-select questions can not include multiple skip-logic paths.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.dscout.com/study-basics/design-a-mission/skip-logic-in-usability-tests-media-surveys-and-intercept-studies.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
