A summary field can be added in a multi-paged form, in order to review the form entry before it is submitted. It includes fields included on any previous pages. It does not include fields on the same page or any later pages.
The fields from each previous page are displayed together, with a link to go back to that page. Including a rootline is helpful in order to allow a visitor to jump back to the summary page after making changes.
