After you create a questionnaire—either by building it manually or by uploading an existing file—you will be automatically redirected to the Editor Panel. The Editor Panel is the primary workspace where you build, organize, and customize your questionnaire. Here, you can add new questions, edit existing ones, arrange their order, and configure how respondents interact with your survey. Whether you’re creating surveys for customer feedback, market research, eCommerce analytics, or data collection, the Editor Panel provides all the tools you need to design professional and interactive questionnaires.

Each question type is designed for a specific purpose, allowing you to collect different kinds of information—from simple text responses to complex tabular data and file uploads.

To add a question:

  1. Locate the desired question type in the Question Library.
  2. Click or drag the question into your questionnaire.
  3. Configure its properties, such as the title, answer choices, validation rules, and other settings.
