Checkbox Survey version 6.3 is due out shortly for Checkbox Online customers, with Checkbox Server customers receiving patch access 1-2 weeks after that. Exact patch schedules will be posted in the coming days - please watch our blog or customer forums for updates.
Checkbox 6.3 New Features:
Same-Page Conditions
We're very excited to release our most-requested feature by far - same page conditions. What are same page conditions, you ask? Since the beginning of Checkbox time, if you wanted to ask a question based on the answer to a previous question, the conditional question had to reside on a subsequent page. So, if you wanted to ask "What country do you live in?" and then ask "What state do you live in?", those questions could not exist on the same page. Well, no more! Conditional questions can now be placed on the same page as the question that the condition is based on. This will allow you to make shorter, more efficient surveys because your respondents won't have to click the Next button nearly as much. Click here to see same page conditions in action. 
New HTML Editor
We've streamlined our HTML editor for both question editing and survey taking. The new Tiny MCE editor includes all of the options you need and none of the extraneous ones you don't. This streamlined editor will simplify the process of editing questions and answering multi-line text questions because there will be fewer icons to wade through and options to choose from. 
Disabled Browser Back Button
Checkbox has always recommended that respondents use the survey back button, rather than the browser back button, when navigating through surveys because the use of the browser back button can cause unexpected results and can potentially corrupt data. We've taken this recommendation one step further by disabling the browser back button in certain, supported browsers. Version 6.3 will include browser back button disabling for Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Support for back button disabling in IE will likely be included in version 6.4.
No More Double Saving of Conditions
If you've ever been frustrated when adding conditions because you clicked the Add Condition button but then forgot to also hit Save and lost all your work, you'll be happy to hear about this seemingly minor (but possibly game-changing) feature. In 6.3, page and item conditions are saved when you click Add to add the condition to the list - there is no longer a need to also click the Save button. Note, that if you are creating an item, you still need to click Save to save your changes on the other tabs. But if you are editing Conditions on an already created item, you can avoid the double Add-Save click.
