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. ## Accessing the Question Library On the left side of the Editor Panel, you will find the **Question Library**. This panel contains all available question types that you can add to your questionnaire. 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. Questions types If you cannot find the question type you're looking for, use the **Search** icon at the top of the Question Library to quickly locate it. ## Available Question Types Below is an overview of each available question type and the scenarios in which it is most useful. ### Radio Button Allows respondents to select **only one option** from a predefined list. **Best used for:** * Single-choice questions * Mutually exclusive options * Product or service selection **Example:** > Which payment method do you prefer? > > * Credit Card > * PayPal > * Bank Transfer ### Rating Scale (Labels, Stars, Smiles) Allows respondents to rate an item using labels, stars, smiley faces, or similar visual scales. **Best used for:** * Customer satisfaction * Product reviews * Service quality evaluations * User experience measurements **Example:** > How satisfied are you with your purchase? > > ★★★★★ ### Slider Lets respondents choose a value by moving a slider along a continuous range. **Best used for:** * Satisfaction scores * Percentage values * Preference levels * Numerical ratings **Example:** > How likely are you to recommend our store? > > 0 — Not Likely | 100 — Extremely Likely ### Checkboxes Allows respondents to select **multiple answers** from a list. **Best used for:** * Multiple product selections * Feature usage * Interests * Categories **Example:** > Which features do you regularly use? > > * Order Tracking > * Wish List > * Product Reviews > * Coupons ### Dropdown Displays a list of options in a compact dropdown menu while allowing only **one selection**. **Best used for:** * Long option lists * Country selection * Categories * Product types **Example:** > Select your country. ### Multi-select Dropdown Works like a standard dropdown but allows respondents to select **multiple options**. **Best used for:** * Selecting multiple brands * Choosing multiple interests * Product categories This question type helps save screen space while supporting multiple selections. ### Yes / No (Boolean) Provides a simple binary choice. **Best used for:** * Confirmations * Eligibility questions * Consent * Agreement **Example:** > Have you purchased from us before? ### File Upload Allows respondents to upload files directly within the questionnaire.
