How to make it so that the control group are not asked the manipulation check?

Hi,
My experiment has 5 conditions. In four conditions the participants read a short excerpt. And one condition is a control where they do not read a message. I want the four manipulated conditions to answer a manipulation check. However I want the participants that were randomised to the control block to avoid the manipulation check. There are questions between the randomisation before the manipulation check.

Hi,
When the randomiser allocates people into the control group you can add an embedded variable (e.g. Control = 1) then you can add display logic on the manipulation check to only be shown if Control is not equal to 1.
