## What is the Inquiry Text component?

**Text** is an Inquiry screen component that adds a text box to the screen. You can customize its appearance, set translations, and define logic that governs when it appears.

Every screen a user interacts with should include concise, descriptive text to provide context. Examples include a brief explanation of a form’s purpose (”Enter your contact information below”), instructions for completing a task (”Upload an image to submit”), or a confirmation message (”Your changes have been saved”). Clear text helps users understand what is expected and enhances their experience.

    1.  On the **Design** tab, under **Properties**:
        1.  **Variant**: Choose **Heading** or **Body**.
        2.  **Text**: Edit the text in the **Text** box. Highlight part of the text to format it as a list, bold or italicize it, add a hyperlink, or insert a table.
    2.  On the **Design** tab, use the **Layout**, **Typography**, and **Link** sections to style the component. See the Design tab section on the [Screen Step components in Inquiries](https://help.withpersona.com/articles/6bdXdAJjp5OE93u7L6AgNT/) page for details.
    3.  On the **Logic** tab, add rules that govern when the component appears, and when it does not. See the Logic tab section on the [Screen Step components in Inquiries](https://help.withpersona.com/articles/6bdXdAJjp5OE93u7L6AgNT/) page for details.
7.  Use the actions at the top right of the panel to copy, delete, or set translations on the component. To translate the text, see [Editing translations for your Inquiry](https://help.withpersona.com/articles/1vMFCXQxDsdpZ2YI4eguFd/).
