PaperSurvey offers two ways to bring questions into a survey: adding questions from another existing survey, or importing from external files.

Adding questions from another survey

1. Open the survey where you want to add questions
2. In the survey editor sidebar, click Add from Survey
3. Select the source survey from the list of your existing surveys
4. Choose which questions to add
5. Click Add

The selected questions will be added to your current survey. You can then rearrange, edit, or modify them as needed.

Importing from external files

You can also import questions from PDF or Word documents. PaperSurvey uses AI to parse the document and extract questions automatically.

1. Open the survey editor
2. Use the import option to upload a PDF or Word file
3. Review the extracted questions
4. Confirm the import

What gets imported

When you add questions, the following are copied:

• Question text and type
• Answer options and labels
• Question settings (such as required, help text, and layout options)

Responses from the source survey are not imported. Only the question structure is copied.

Duplicating an entire survey

If you want to reuse all questions from a survey, it may be faster to duplicate the entire survey instead of importing individual questions. See Survey Duplication for details.

Using templates

PaperSurvey also offers pre-built survey templates that you can use as a starting point. Templates cover common use cases like customer satisfaction, employee feedback, and event evaluations.
