Input forms are the elements that you use to collect information from your users. They can be used for a simple checkbox or combined into complex forms.

User input can mean many things, and most applications accept a wide range of different categories of input from their users. Even single forms are usually made up of different types of inputs that makes it easy for your users to understand what kind of data they're asked to provide.

Text and number inputs allow users to provide text ranging from short, structured data like an email address, an order number or a name to long, unstructured data like a blog post or product description. Text can be formatted (rich text) or unformatted (plain text).
