**Linear scale** (`/scale`) shows a row of numbers to pick from. It's ideal for Net Promoter Score (NPS) and "how likely are you…" questions.

| Setting | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Scale start** / **Scale end** | The lowest and highest numbers. The default is 0 to 10. |
| **Scale step** | The gap between numbers, for example 1 or 5. |
| **Left label** / **Center label** / **Right label** | Words that explain the ends and middle, like _Not at all_ and _Extremely_. |

:::tip[Color your results] Turn on **Color scale** to color answers in your submissions table from low to high, which makes patterns easy to spot. :::
