Creating a new survey from scratch when you already have a similar one is unnecessary work. Duplicating a survey creates an exact copy with all questions, settings, and formatting preserved, saving you significant time when building variations or new versions of existing forms.
How to duplicate a survey
- Open the survey you want to copy
- Click on Survey Settings in the navigation
- Scroll to the bottom of the settings page
- Click the "Duplicate survey" button
- Your new copy will appear in your survey list
What gets copied
When you duplicate a survey, the following elements carry over:
- All questions and their settings
- Page layouts and formatting
- Custom branding and logos
- Footer text and instructions
- Language translations (if any)
- Form settings and configurations
What does not get copied
- Collected responses and data
- Uploaded scans
Common use cases
Version control Create survey versions for different time periods, archive old surveys before making changes, or test modifications without affecting the original.
Template creation Build a master survey template, then duplicate and customize it for different departments while maintaining consistent formatting across projects.
