    I cant figure out why my submit button is hidden and only appears when someone clicks the additional items field. How can I take it out so the submit is at the bottom?

    Thank you

    You must be referring to the Collapse Field in your jotform https://form.jotform.com/52574990511964

    But this is how the collapse field work.

    When in Close mode, the Collapse field will be compressed and will hide all fields below it.

    When in Open mode, it will then show the fields.

    In your Form Builder you can assign a default 'Status' (Open/Closed) for the Collapse field.

    I'd love to see a better solution to this, someone could still close the open section by mistake and not know how to submit the form. I think the best option would be a section break item that could be added to end the collapsible section.

    @volunteeruwgc, 

    What you could do is to add a new collapse tool right above the submit button, this will separate it from the previous collapse tool and will display it separately. On the collapse tool for the submit button you could set it to visible and opened, this way the submit button will always show:

    Here's how it will look like:

    That's a great idea, thank you! That will definitely work for me...

    but it still might not be a bad idea to add something like that to the menu for all the users who may not take the time to ask this question :)
