  2. In the right-hand panel, click on the "Forms" tab.
  3. Scroll down to the "Form Fields" section.
  4. Click on the field you want to add a label to.
  5. In the field settings, you'll see an option called "Placeholder Text". This is where you can add the label for that specific field.
  6. Enter the desired label text in the "Placeholder Text" field.
  7. Repeat steps 4-6 for each field in the contact form to add labels to all of them.

By following these steps, you can easily add labels to fields in a contact form created using Webflow's standard 'Form Block'. Adding labels is essential for improving the accessibility and user experience of your contact form, as it helps users understand the purpose of each field.
