Live Visualizer - Show field data entered on previous screen

I am working on a form that has multiple pages.  The first page has a title, by the time the users get to page three they have forgotten what item they are working with.  

I would like for there to be a way that I can display the title (or other data) entered on the previous pages?

You could drag as many Headings as you like to each page. Each Page also has its own Title that appears when you turn on Page Navigation.

I am sorry, I wasn't very clear.  So the user is entering a title for the content they are adding.  The title field was on the first page of the editor.  By page 3 of the editor they have forgotten what they entered into the Title data field.

So are you looking to provide a summary of values entered before they click submit?

Not exactly, although that would be cool. I am doing a site for a violin/music teacher.  So the structure has the following pages

1 - Add/Edit Resource - title and sort order

2 - Logo - Select the picture to go beside the item in lists - they are color coded

3 - Practice Notes - HTML editor where she can put notes on how the students should practice the song

4 - YouTube Links - 4 fields to enter YouTube links

5 - Play Along track - Assets field to upload/select an mp3 as a playalong track

6 - Categories - Five different checkbox lists that will help categorize which pages the content will be displayed in.

So, my wife is going to enter the song "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" 

She select the logo, because we are still working out how to name the files she has to think about it.

By the time she gets to practice notes she has forgotten which song she is creating.

It would be nice if "Twinkle, Twinkle, Listtle Star" could be shown on pages 2 - 6 to help remind the users what they are entering.

You can accomplish this using the method here: https://www.mandeeps.com/support/knowledgebase/live-forms-actions-on-form-view-calculated-fields

I am able to make a text field entry appear elsewhere on the form, including HTML and Headings. You just make a hidden field to bind the text value to and then place the curly bracket token wherever you want that text to appear.

That's correct. You may refer to the Calculated Fields video and show a Text/Label on each page referencing the original textbox. 

Thanks Josiah!
