The block flow is where you can view the order/flow of the blocks of questions present in your survey, rearrange them, add complex logic to them, and apply randomizations on them. The block flow is basically a one-stop location to decide the entire flow of your survey to be presented to the respondents based on their answers to the initial questions or their geo-location, device type, etc. which directly reduces the chances of order-bias and help you get valid data for your research.
