Copying a Question

If you have two items that are very similar, it can save time if, after creating the first item, you use a copy of it. Then, all you have to do is edit the copy slightly.

From the My Surveys page, for the appropriate survey, click DESIGN
From the Modify Survey page, for the question you want to copy, click COPY
A copy of the question appears immediately below the original.
To edit the copied question,
1. Click EDIT
  The Modify Existing Item page appears.
2. Make the appropriate changes to the text and options
3. Click SAVE
If necessary, move the item to the appropriate location in the survey

Moving a Question

As you review your survey or receive feedback on it, you may want to rearrange the order of your questions.

Moving a Question: Using the MOVE button

The MOVE button can be a more efficient way to move a question to a new location on the same page if that location is more than one position away. This option is also the one to use to move a question to a different page.

Click MOVE
You are returned to the Modify Survey page. The question appears in its new location.
