Editing a Question

No project is final at the first draft. You might have to change the content of your questionnaire at various stages before approving it for launch. To support you along the way, Sogolytics offers plenty of options for editing at each stage.

Once you’ve created your survey, you may need to test it to see if all your requirements are met. While proofreading your survey, you may find some edits which need to be incorporated in a survey. To make a change to the text, you have two options:

• Hover over the question. On the editing bar that appears, click Edit.
• Hover over the question or answer to be edited, then click on the text itself to edit.

Copying a Question

If you need to repeat the same question multiple times in your survey, the option to add once and copy later can save plenty of time and effort.

Sogolytics provides you exactly this feature. You can even copy the question and then tweak it slightly, whenever you need to ask similar questions with minor variations. Take a look at how the same question can be copied elsewhere in your survey as needed:

1. Select the survey project you want to edit.
2. Navigate to the question you want to copy.
3. Hover on the question text and click on Copy.
4. Choose the location where the new question should be placed by scrolling down the dropdown menu of options.

Deleting a Question

As you build and revise your survey, and as your goals sometimes change, you might want to delete redundant or unimportant questions to focus attention on what really matters.

The following steps illustrate how questions can be deleted in your survey:

1. Select the survey project you want to edit.
2. Navigate to the question you want to delete.
3. Hover on the question text and click on Delete.

Moving a Question

Keeping the best possible flow for participants is very important in keeping them engaged. If there is a need to reshuffle certain questions in your survey to support this flow, these updates can be made very easily.

Follow these steps to move a question:

1. Select the survey project you want to edit.
2. Navigate to the question you want to move.
3. Hover on the question text and click on ‘More’, and then select Move and the desired location where the question should be moved.

Hiding a Question

In some cases, you might find that a question on a live survey needs to be replaced or retired. This is especially common in recurring or long-running surveys. Instead of deleting the question, which also deletes response data, simply hide it! Hiding a question means future participants won’t see it but the data from past responses will still be available in your reports.

Follow these steps to hide a question:

1. Select the survey project you want to edit.
2. Navigate to the question you want to hide.
3. Hover over the question text, click on the three-dot menu to the right, and select Hide.
4. Review the question in Designer, where it will be marked as ‘Hidden’.
5. To Unhide the question, follow the same steps and select ‘Unhide.’
