# Understand the conditions for different Survey question types

Note:Question types can be edited only as part of the Premium Plan. For more information, see [Whatfix Pricing](https://whatfix.com/pricing/).

Whatfix enables you to add seven types of questions to a Survey. Choose the question type based on your use case. Questions can be associated with conditions to make the Surveys concise and clear, and also prevent end users from answering irrelevant questions. The conditions enable you to determine which question should appear next based on the responses of users to the previous question. Apply different conditions to different questions based on your use-cases.

Here are the descriptions for each question type along with the conditions:
