Reusable Components

To reuse a question across multiple surveys with edits that update all instances, consider implementing a question component. This ensures consistency and ease of management if you have a question that will be reused across multiple surveys and allows you to create preset questions that can be easily reused by your users.

➕ Creating a new component

In order to create a component create a new standard question within any of your surveys. Once you have finish designing your questions and its answers you can save it as a component within your questions library using the Save as component to library option on the question toolbar.

Once you have added your question as a component it will be available as component in your question library where you can edit further the component. Note that editing the component will also reflect all changes on all instances that are connected to that component within your surveys.

You can view at any time on the component properties which surveys in the system is currently using your component and unlink it from it.

Deleting a component will not delete the instance that are linked to it but will detach them before deleting the component.

🔗 Link component as an instance in a survey

Once you have your component you can now reuse it in any of your surveys or forms by selecting it from the library tab. Selecting the component will create a new instance that will be linked to that component. As long as the instance is linked any changes to the component will also be reflected on that instance.

Linked component cannot be edited directly in the survey.

If you dont want anymore to have it linked to the component you can detach the instance which will create an independent question.
