# Pages Navigator

## 📖 What is the pages navigator

The page navigator allows you to let the respondent navigate through your survey pages using tabs or side bars that are displayed on either on the top of the survey or on the left or right of it.

Using these tabs or using the side navigation respondents can go to any pages in no particular order.

## 🔅 Pages navigator properties

You may set the page navigator properties from the [footer manager](/form-management/form-designer/footer-manager.md) page.

* **`Validate page on page change`** checks that all questions have been answered correctly before letting the respondent switch to another page.
* **`Ignore invalid page on submit`** you can still allow the submit of respondent's answers even if the respondent did not visit pages that had required questions on them.
* **`Disable unvisited pages`** will restrict access to the pages that were already displayed to the respondent.
