URL parameters - URL parameters, which are a feature in Logic, are values relating to respondent information, like name or email, that you can preload in your form’s URL without your respondent needing to enter them. The form can display these values when opened, and the values will also appear in your form’s results. Learn more about URL parameters here

Layout - Use Layout options to position an image or GIF to a question in your form. Layout options are shown in the Question settings of the Content panel. You can select to have different layouts for mobile and desktop devices.

Logic - In Typeform, logic refers to the creation of rules that show your respondents different follow-up questions, outcomes based on how they've answered previous questions in the form, or assign points to answers that can be used for branching. You can set up Logic in the Workflow panel.

Use Branching and calculations within Logic to show respondents only the questions that are most relevant to them. You can also use logic with variables or URL parameters.  

Logic Map - The Logic Map lives in the Workflow panel. It’s a visual aid showing the paths of any logic you’ve set up for the form. This is the Logic Map for a form with branching set up at several points.
