Working with Library Items
Library items are items that you use repeatedly. By storing them in a Library they can be reused without having to create them new each time. For example, in your surveys, you may frequently ask the age range of respondents. You can create this question with the age range choices and insert it into new surveys from your Library as needed. For information on inserting items stored in a Library, refer to Creating a Survey.
