About adding and editing questions

Questions live in question groups. You add them with the purple + in the top bar and edit them in place in the editorial area, where they look the way participants will see them. The settings of the selected question open on the right. Every change is saved as you make it: Saved at in the top bar shows the time of the last save.

Add a question

1. Click the purple + in the top bar. The question type picker opens, and the plus turns into an x until you close the picker.

2. Click a question type, or type part of its name into Search for a question type. The types are grouped by what they collect: single choice, multiple choice, ranking and rating, dates and data, text, numbers and more.

   

3. The new question appears at the end of the current question group. It is selected, and Question settings is open on the right.

4. Click Your question here and type your question.
