📌 Adding, copying, deleting, and hiding questions is available on all plans.

What is a Question?

A question is the most basic element of a survey. Each question consists of an area for entering the question text and an area where respondents select or write their answer.

Write the question and choices based on what you want to find out, then add, copy, delete, or hide questions as needed to manage your survey flexibly.


Add a Question

Questions can be added using any of the following three methods:

  • Click the [+] button in the 'Questions' section of the left survey structure list, then select the question type.

  • Hover over a question in the left list to reveal and click the [+] button, then select the question type.

  • Select the question before or after where you want to add a new question, then click the [+ Question] button at the top or bottom of that question.

Reorder Questions

Step 1. Drag and drop the question you want to move.

Step 2. Questions can be freely reordered within the same block or moved to a different block. However, questions in a regular block cannot be moved to a screening block.

Copy a Question

Step 1. Select the question you want to copy.

Step 2. Click the [Copy Question] icon at the top. The question will be duplicated immediately after the selected question.

Delete a Question

Step 1. Select the question you want to delete.

Step 2. Click the [Delete Question] icon at the top. The question will be deleted and cannot be restored.

Hide a Question

Step 1. Select the question you want to hide.

Step 2. Click the [Hide Question] icon at the top. The question will be hidden, and you can reveal it again by clicking [Unhide].

💡 Tip | Use the hide feature when you want to hide unnecessary questions in a copied survey, or when you don't want certain questions to be shown to respondents.
